In 'Reflecting New York', the artist Falke showcases his innovative approach to reflection through a handheld mirror, transforming ordinary views into captivating visuals. By adjusting the angle and incorporating his hand, he crafts a narrative that elevates the reflection beyond mere replication, suggesting the mirror itself is a participant in the artwork. This method not only redefines the relationship between viewer and subject but also invites audiences to see their surroundings in a fresh, artistic light.
I realized soon that the mirror was an actor in the image, not just the reflection in it.
Then came my hand, which I tried to avoid showing at first, but it became an important part of the series.
A handheld mirror, my mirror, creates unusual visuals in familiar places.
