SPLIT – Spiegel. Licht. Reflexion

Reflective surfaces and cool materials are just as characteristic of the works in the Schaufler Collection as a clear and often reduced language of forms. The impressive presentation with some one hundred and twenty works on the theme of mirror and light art prompts reflection on illusions and self-perception – since a look in the mirror promises more than merely a likeness. The accompanying catalogue develops a dialogue between art and science: fascinating aspects and new impulses on the theme of mirrors, light, and reflection in art supplement texts from the fields of neuroesthetics, psychology, physics, and art history.
