“Mirror fence” by Alyson Shotz

A fence completely made of mirrors blends perfectly in the surrounding natural landscape in such a way that it is almost invisible.  We are referring to Alyson Shotz’s “mirror fence”, an art-work which was created in 2003 and till then has been installed in several locations. This mind-blowing installation reflects its surroundings and like another chameleon transforms and disappears in them resulting in a barrier that is almost completely camouflaged. The following photographs depict this impressive piece at the Storm King Art Center in New York were had been on view from 2010 till 2012.
