John Armleder — mirrored plastic
John Armleder

mirrored plastic

John Armleder's *Mirrored Plastic* exemplifies the Swiss artist's ongoing exploration of surface, reflection, and the relationship between art object and viewer. True to Armleder's Fluxus-influenced practice, the work plays with ideas of perception and materiality, using the inherently self-referential quality of mirrored plastic to implicate the surrounding environment as part of the piece itself. The work blurs boundaries between decoration and concept, inviting contemplation of how everyday industrial materials can function within a fine art context.
