Commentary
Two identical figures stand face to face, one inside the building and one outside. The artist personally determined the installation location, and the figures are positioned so that it is impossible to view either of them head-on. To perceive the entire image, it is necessary to observe the figure on the other side of the glass, but depending on the angle of view, it may not be clear whether the figure on the other side is real or an illusionary reflection of the figure on this side, which leads to a bizarre sensation. An intriguing aspect of this work is that the interior and exterior of the building, the window, and the museum environment, which existed before the sculpture was installed, all become objects of contemplation.
