PENTIMENTO 
Spatial  installation
March 2022


"Pentimento" is an immersive installation designed to interact with the architectural features of gallery W139 in Amsterdam. Inspired by the narrow staircase that serves as a primary passage between floors, the work disrupts the circulation with a text piece visible only through a mirror positioned to face the staircase.
The text, written in bright green letters on the steps' risers, reads:
"THIS IS A REFLECTIVE SURFACE BUT YOU CANNOT DRINK FROM IT."

Prompting the visitors to pause as they encounter it, Pentimento causes a further congestion in the already constrained space.
By using an object of vanity as it’s frame, "Pentimento" challenges the immunity of the looker, and suggests an alternative frame.
