L ’architettura dello specchio (Architecture of the Mirror), 1991,continues to explore the idea of the mirror and the principle of reflectivity, a fundamental point of reference for all of Pistoletto ’s work, presenting a different aspect of this line of questioning, one with a critical dimension.
Conceived for a specific site,the Centre d ’Art Santa Mònica in Barcelona, the work merges the dimension of real time, already addressed in previous works, with the dimension of the architectural space to which it relates. The surface of the four-part mirror, of which the work is composed, is understood as a symbol of the universal container: it does not accommodate any painted image because it potentially reflects all images. In this work, unity, division, and multiplicity intersect
