Two MDF wood boxes, both of the same size (92.5 × 40 × 10 cm), covered with a blue canvas (type ‘aaafff’).

One side (92.5 × 40 cm) displays an image or print on Dibond, laminated onto plexiglass (about 21 × 29.7 cm). It features the image of a lizard. Its eye spews blood.

The opposite side showcases a one-way mirror. Its dimensions should be slightly smaller than 92.5 × 40 cm. (…in progress…) These two boxes would thus be relatively identical objects. They are meant to be placed vertically on the floor. However, such a decision should be finalised during the installation. Also, there is a consideration if they should be displayed together or separately, either in the same room or in different spaces, and if there is an intent to make each more autonomous. At its core, through this repetitive effect, one object refers to the other, activating memory, signalling, and reminding of its twin. In the same way, a marker or a reference object sets the context in its entirety…
