Chiara Dynys returns to deceive the viewer through optical devices capable of fragmenting, altering and disorienting the perception of vision. Kaleidos (2021) is a series of sculptures of different colors, kaleidoscopic in shape and composed of mirrors that reflect each other. The reflected and fragmented image opens up the possibilities of vision and becomes a question about one’s own identity: an invitation to look at oneself, to recognize oneself, to find oneself again. The work fully expresses the artist’s research: a constant tension in the representation of the estrangement of the perception of the self, of one’s own identity and of the surrounding reality.
