My reflection slithers on the glass skin of the city. I am used to slithering past shop windows behind which the spaces are constructed specifically to cause my admiration – exciting still lifes made of commodities and things, or interiors in the stage of renovation with constructs/skeletons of buildings revealed, elements of dilapidated false walls, plastic drapes, and industrial vacuum cleaners. There are buildings made entirely of glass; they are like mazes, if you look at your own reflections in them, you may get lost, or, at the very least, experience the breathtaking sensation of disorientation. Then you start seeing double and then multiple, a shop window after a shop window, a building after a building, a city after a city, and so forth to the eternity, like in the corridor of reflections", – the artist says. The video, shot in Helsinki and St Petersburg, has no physical link to a location. Together with the artist you drift along the mazes of a mirror city balancing between reality and reflection.
