Broken View is a 1 meter wide and 25 meter long corridor. The corridor is offset by 1 meter at it’s midpoint and a mirror is installed cutting through the middle of the corridor. The mirror creates a view as if the spectator is looking through a straight corridor. The inside is covered with Fantoni acoustic boards on walls and ceiling and a carpet is mounted on the floor. This creates a compact and silent auditory space enhancing the visual and haptic experience of the room.
When the subject moves through the corridor the room is physically narrowing and visually expanding. The conflict between the visual and kinetic perception of the same space creates a spatial entity which is opening and closing itself at the same time.
The arrows indicates entrance/exit. The red line indicates the mirror.
When standing at the entrance to the corridor (View point) you perceive the corridor as one straight line.
The plain black lines indicates the physical corridor.
The dotted lines indicates the virtual corridors in the mirror.
The red line indicates the mirror.
