‘Mechelen Marauder fractures space. Its ephemeral, translucent, cylindrical form reinforces the rotational movement in space. Our aim is to provoke thought by destabilising space. The mirror, as an everyday object, functions as a medium that simultaneously attracts and repels. The repulsion varies from viewer to viewer as it fractures one’s image along with all that crosses its path. It extends like a whirlwind between the circular floor mosaic and the glass ceiling – like something that barely seems to stop.’
