Reflection as a physical phenomenon is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. From human behaviour perspective, reflection is an active process rather than passive thinking. The image of looking at oneself in a mirror, suggested by the word, means that it has implications of being conscious of what one is doing. Reflection could also imply the process of reviewing an experience by trying to describe, analyse or evaluate it.

‘See you, see me’ is a dialogue between the artist and the observer, the observer and the artwork, the observer and the surrounding environment and also a dialogue between two friends or even between two strangers who are exploring the same artwork at the same time.

All the artists in the exhibition have produced artwork that focus on reflection either in a metaphorical or in literal way. By presenting artwork of various scale and media like photography, water and mirror installations, artists engage the audience to take active role in order to establish a convenient and effective dialogue.

Is what you see and experience an illusion, a mirroring, a metaphor, a reflection or a reality? This is for you to explore and discover…

Participating artists include:

Miru Kim, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Sarah Doyle, Lynda Cornwell, Peter Doig, Jaume Plensa, Michael Cross, Banks Violette, Bengt Sjolen & Adam Somlai-Fischer, Daniel Rozin
