Artist, Danish, born 1967

This appears to be a rectangular reflective artwork with a colorful overlay. The artwork is framed, like a large mirror, and it reflects the shapes of three people and a camera on a tripod, positioned on a wooden floor. The glass appears to be casting a vibrant spectrum of colors over the reflections, primarily orange and teal, creating a layered visual effect. Behind the work is a white wall, and it stands on a wooden floor.
