Through the Looking-Glass
What is the back side of a photograph? The Lightobjects inhabit on both sides two perspectively cut photographs on film. The photographs were taken in the same place, from opposite points of view, at the same angles, facing each other exactly. Each image thus shows the back of the photographed objects or the landscape of the other image. It reveals what is behind the photographer's point of view. Alice in Wonderland wonders what the world is like on the other side of the mirror: "How would you like to live in the looking glass house, Kitty? Do you think they'd give you milk there? Maybe looking-glass milk isn't good to drink - but oh, Kitty!.... Oh, Kitty! How nice it would be if we could just get through to the Looking-glass House! I'm sure it has, oh! such beautiful things in it.Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
