How we use a room defines it—any room with a bed becomes a bedroom; all inhabited rooms are, in a sense, living rooms. An empty room might be seen as a blank slate, but even in the emptiest room one finds dust, and dust is not neutral.
The placement of a mirror changes a room—it creates a strange, sometimes sinister window. For Borges, mirrors “extenuate this vain and dubious world within the web of their own vertigo,” imbuing them with a capacity to arrest and terrify.
A gallery is a room for art, and art is, among other things, a mirror.
Strange, that there are dreams, that there are mirrors.
Strange that the ordinary, worn-out ways
of every day encompass the imagined
and endless universe woven by reflections.
