Superficial - The Mirrored Rock From The Woods
This mirror rock sculpture, placed deep in the woods could prove very scary, especially at dawn if you have no idea about it and that is placed there. The French artist Michel de Broin has done a great job with the so called Superficial sculpture, that reflects everything near it.
On Michel’s official website you can read his thought about this strange and interesting sculpture: “Upon invitation to reflect on the notion of transparency, that led me into the forest to envelop the contour of a large stone with fragments of mirror. The large stone, tucked away deep in the woods, became a reflective surface for its surroundings. In this play of splintered radiance, the rock disappears in its reflections. Because it reflects one cannot be mislead by its presence, yet we cannot seize it, rather it is the rock that reflects us.”

Impressive. I’m not a really big fan of gimmick art, but this piece would be worth seeing. And contemplating.
Thanks for the post!
Honestly, I thought that was a house design at first. Would be very cool house design, but how would you keep all those windows clean.
I love stuff like this. I would love to happen upon random art in the woods!
It’ll be a shame if some prankster comes along and pelts it with a rock.
except some damn fool would throw a rock
I wonder if birds every fly into the glass. It’s low to the ground, but still.
Wow, it’s beautiful.
Amazing idea. I’d love to see it with my own eyes. Or at least have a look at some photos of it during different times of the day, e.g. sunrise and from different angles.
