Alfredo Jaar — Reflexions
Alfredo Jaar

Reflexions

1993

A mirrored projection screen printed with silkscreen ink creates a luminous, reflective surface that implicates the viewer within the work itself. Jaar's choice of medium blurs the boundary between image and observer, transforming the act of looking into a confrontation with one's own gaze. The work interrogates visibility and representation, themes central to Jaar's broader practice of bearing witness to overlooked human suffering.
