• Nine Liquid Incidents aka. Pools of Narcissism RONI HORN 2010-2011 In this world of tumbling, tweeting and tagging it's a strange sensation to gaze into these glassy voids and see nothing of your self reflected. We have become accustomed to seeking out the familiar, to borrowing opinions, to following the leader. Stepping forward to look into Horn's milky pools of glass one anticipates to see themselves reflected in someone's else's achievement, to revel in the glory of their own face gazing back upon them. So when your presence echoes emptiness , it makes you wonder if there is anything there worth reflecting at all. (at MCA)
