a site-specific installation for County Square Shopping Centre, Ashford
catoptromancy /kə’tɒptrəmansi/ n. E17. [f. Gk katoptron mirror + -MANCY.] Divination
by means of a mirror or mirrors.
Hurrying
through
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
an
ordinary
shopping
centre
in
Kent,
shoppers
may
chance
across
two
large
scale
mirrored
kaleidoscopic
structures,
alternative
portals
that
reconfigure
and
reflect
the
reality
of
the
occupied
mall.
Using
live
CCTV
feeds
from
the
shopping
centre
Catoptromancy
conflates
and
collapses,
fuses
and
disperses,
an
infinite
symmetry
of
human
movement.
In
this
collaboration,
Terry
Perk
and
Julian
Rowe
explored
the
occupation
and
traversing
of mundane ‘non-places’ that could be anywhere.
