Broken Mirror (two versions differentiated by the frames: classic and contemporary), it is presented the hypothetical image of ‘breaking mirror’ reflected on a mirror, a breaking mirror and a crashing sound pass over the point, ‘where the boundary between a real and virtual space is ambiguous’ . Unlike the ‘classical mirror’ found in Michel Foucault’s famous analysis of Velasquez’s Las Meninas ,or even the ‘mirror phase’ of the narcissism that Rosalind Krauss found in the feedback apparatus of early video art (which involves rather the Viewer), the mirror-monitor discovers here a new role, interactive yet interruptive.
