This pavilion is enterable through a sliding 2-way mirror door in one side, is sited in a landscape with some trees, a large visible vista.
The 4m x 4m x 4m pavilion has two 2-way mirror sides. The third side is a cibachrome transparency which shows the landscape as viewed from within the structure 100m. in front of the transparency. The landscape transparency is from a different season photographed nearly at sunset. Spectators inside the structure can see the present, moving, landscape, through the static image of the transparency of the past view.
Spectators inside or outside the pavilion see a prismatic superimposed and continuously fluctuating virtual image on the 2-way mirror sides' reflective/transparent views of the immediately surrounding landscape as well as images of gazing spectators inside and outside the pavilion.
Proposed for Israel, then sudwest bank, Stuffgard and Documenta X
