This framed mirror image sculpture of argon in glass, formed the anacrusis of the installation. It also referred to the workshop ‘ Your life as a masterpiece’ in which 16 people participated.
A visitor who just came in, says to his wife: ‘ that’s written in mirror writing, I can’t read it that way’. His wife, meanwhile walking to the backside of the frame: ‘ come over and look here!’. Together they spell the word that’s to read now: ‘buitengewoon’ (extraordinary). But within the frame as a visor there is nothing extraordinary left behind the now lightening characters. The man doesn’t like it: he doesn’t like what he is reading, but he doesn’t like nothing he is seeing at all!
Other visitors frequently are passing the frame shaking heads at first. But a bit further they see on a screen other visitors come in from behind the word that they can read now. Than they notice that they, just like them, are seen via the camera on the blank wall behind the word. They snigger, approving or surprised and curiously continue their investigation of the area and what else is there to be seen. Visibly whit other eyes.
