Daniel Rozin specializes in mirror-image installations.
In Rust Mirror (2009) the mirror silhouette of the spectator is reflected onto a surface consisting of hundreds of rust steel tiles. The tiles tilt and reflect the light source producing the necessary contrast to make mirror image.
Daniel Rozin artworks are centered around the mirror image.
In Penguin Mirror (2015) 450 stuffed penguins on rotating motors are situated on the gallery floor, offering a binary mirror image of any spectator in front of the penguin colony. Beyond being a feat of mechanical control and translation of Kinect data, I am wondering if this work stimulates reflection around one owns body image, beyond the aspect of play.
A similar work is the IRIS installation by the new media collective HYBE, where the ambient light from the spectator is translated into a matrix of 400 monochrome LEDs making the mirror image. Each LED consists of a liquid crystal fluid, which change color from white to black (circles opening and closing) dependent on the amount of light.
Daniel Rozin has created many interactive installations investigating the mirror image.
In Time Scan Mirror (2004) the screen image is showing a time-delayed and slightly skewed mirror image of the viewer.
