Mirror

Hub cap / convex acrylic mirror
Diameter: 42 cm
Series of 30

Ann Veronica JANSSENS

This series includes a tailor-made hub cap/mirror for a car. D&A Lab produced the unbreakable acrylic
mirror.
What is interesting about this work of art is that the car owner cannot see it himself. The driver offers other
road users the benefit of it.
The true meaning of the convex mirror fitted on the hub cap is revealed in an urban or private context.
The underlying idea of this work is that Ann Veronica Janssens considers a car as
a mobile artist’s studio.
A constantly fleeting image can be observed from a moving car. Dimensions and colours change incessantly.
The car as an object belongs to the public and private domain.

ABOUT

Born 1956 in Folkstone (UK)
Lives and works in Brussels

A large part of Ann Veronica Janssens’ work invites the viewer, through sculptures, to consciously experience the constant changes in our environment (or images that we project onto it) as a wonderful experience rather than as something hostile.
A body in space and observation are part of Janssens’ train of thought, in which she combines philosophy with art history.
