This kinetic sculpture fractures and reconfigures the visual field. If one person sits in a chair or stands before the sliding mirrors, that person’s body is erased by degrees; if two or more people occupy chairs facing each other, their bodies combine, splicing into one another. Lilly’s work exploits glitches in our senses, challenging how we experience our physical selves in relation to others and to the built environment.
