REFLECTION
SITE SPECIFIC INSTALLATION
MILCHOF PAVILLON
Overlays, reflections, optical illusions, visual
echoes. Elma Riza developed the installation
«Reflection» in a site-specific way and plays with
our perception. She thus explores the porosity of
the visual limits of the place between inside and
outside: an extension of the outside space to the
inside and vice versa. Reality and appearance,
concrete landscape and mental compositions
merge and invite the viewer to reinvent his/her
vision of the installation.
A line, an external reflection, on one side of the pavilion... this was the beginning of this work. Then I asked
myself how to make it visible in resonance with the place, that’s why I chose the soil, present on the outside of the
pavilion. A displacement of one element to make another visible, creating an encounter between a geometric form
extracted from architecture and an organic matter, both belonging to the place. Elma Riza
