An antique framed mirror covered with a dust sheet that has been reproduced in cold cast marble, the sheet has been draped to obscure the mirror’s reflection as if protecting its surface. Emblematic of Ryan Gander’s work, “I be...” is an ongoing series for which the artist collects stately mirrors and, once carefully selected, places a veil to partly conceal them. The fabric, transmuted into marble resin, impedes the onlooker’s curiosity and vanity by obstructing access to our own reflection. These works are part of Ryan Gander’s questioning of historical and contemporary concerns revolving around an everyday object — from the stylistic reference to ancient Greek and Roman sculptures to the unveiled narcissism of the ‘selfie’ age.
