The work You may say I'm a dreamer refers to the loving gesture of leaving a message written in lipstick to a loved one. One word of this message is visible on each of seven mirror fragments. First written with lipstick on paper, this handwriting was digitized and then engraved behind glass to appear on the mirrors. You may say I'm a dreamer is taken from the song "Imagine" by John Lennon and points to people's wishes and longings for a peaceful world. Each of the elongated mirrors, on which the writing appears at the bottom, is mounted on two swivel heads. This means that they can all move individually to the left and right. If all mirrors are aligned parallel, the song line can be read in its entirety and the surroundings can be seen in a complete picture. If they are turned in different directions, they reflect their surroundings in fragments and a kind of distorted image. The mirrors have the potential to show a newly defined composition of their environment practically every day. Just as the world changes daily, the fragments of this mirror work capture new perspectives again and again.
