Contemporary art object Mirror Lips

For quite some time now, a strong, confident woman has been at the center of my artistic pursuits. And – of course – lips and lipsticks serve as a perfect symbolic representation of sensuality. This contemporary art object required unique material – so I decided to go for the old model IQOS caps that otherwise would have been thrown away.

2400 IQOS colored caps were glued onto a composite surface. Here comes the interactive part: in reality, only half of the lips truly exists – but the mirror reflection completes the view and creates an illusion of full lips. All you have to do is find the right angle.

3 different reflections can be seen from various viewpoints: red and black from both sides, turquoise from the top. The additional dramatic effect is created by red LED lights illuminating the object.

Measurements: 140 cm x 45 cm, depth 42 cm.

Making of

The whole creative process took two weeks. No surprise, reflection in the mirror was the biggest challenge – you could never be a 100 % sure about the end result.
