Exploring people's passion for shopping and consumerism, artist Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen has created a series of extraordinary sculptures Mobile Mirrors, which are mannequins turned into an analogue mirror balls in disco clubs.
Each contemporary artist struggles in his own way with the culture of endless consumption that has developed today. Canadians Brian Armstrong and Peter Gibson create a garbage installation Fragile, Danish trio Superflex floods a McDonald's restaurant, and Sweden's Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen creates a series of Mobile Mirrors.
Rasmussen in his work hints that, if you want to change the world, you need to start doing it with yourself. And a series of sculptures Mobile Mirrors is a clear illustration of this statement.
Mobile Mirrors' sculptures are based on the mannequins found in clothing stores. But each of these figures is covered with small mirror fragments over its entire surface, eventually turning into a kind of disco ball from a nightclub.
Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen with the help of these mirror sculptures suggests that the pernicious tendency to overconsumption is only a reflection of ourselves, our inner world.
And people who criticize the negative trends that have developed in our time should, first of all, look at themselves, realizing their habits and practices of consuming goods and brands.
