Antwerp City Collection

Ann Veronica Janssens’s works are total experiences that completely change the perception of space. Magic Mirror Steel Blue is constructed from three layers of glass. Sandwiched between two intact plates sits a plate that has been broken into countless pieces. When light falls on the surface, the cracked glass reflects it in different directions. This creates shapes and colours that change according to the movements of the viewer. The work poses the question of what the essence of art is: is it its materiality or rather, its interaction with the world?
