Mirrors of Disarray

 It is a fitting and ambivalent term for our age -- image-laden, disordered "--Mirrors of Disarray" could also serve as the title line to any possible exhibition on current artistic practice. Get InspiredHere is how you can explore this in different art forms

Visual Art

Reflective Surfaces: Pack your artwork with mirrors or reflective materials to make the place a bit skew-whiff. Challenge the conventional thoughts by arranging those mirrors in a broken mess, forming chaos and reflecting an untrue image!

Not Contemporary Reflections: Paint or digitally design scenes with streaked mirrors where the reflection is interrupted, having images in them distorted like a gop stone either expressing inner turmoil or outer fracas.

Sculpture

Mirror Assemblages: Create sculptures using mirror fragments or shards and create abstract forms. The complexity can be visually described by the interaction between reflections and fragmented surfaces.

Interactible Mirrors: Add components mirrors that can move or adjust in/on sculptures. The viewers, could walk around the beautifully polished metal and change their point of view in order to move and control these reality bending reflections so they were seen as partially fragmented or totally broken.

Installation Art

Immersive Spaces — Design an installation where mirrors give the sense of chaos or confusion. For example, walls, floors or ceilings could have mirrors so the viewer sees his image reflected there and multiplies it in all its chaos.

Mirror and Labyrinth: Create a maze or pathway using mirrors /reflective surfaces. The chaos in the reflections can indicate how complicated it is to make sense of your own experiences or even understand what you see around yourself.

Conceptual Art

Thematically similar work: create a set of pieces that incorporate text or imagery related to the theme, Reflection and Disorder It could be fragmented narratives or layered imagery which speaks to the chaos.

Performance Art: Reflective mirrors as part of performance installation, looking at self-reflection/disruption. The mirrors themselves and the reflections they provide can be interpreted as a symbol for inner turmoil.

Digital Art

Virtual Mirrors can help in creating digital or virtual arts that tweak mirrors and reflections to make them seem broken. Things like interactive pieces might enable viewers to engage with the conceit in more dynamical and, by implication, evolving ways.

It is in addition through these methods that the myriad notions laid out by Mirrors of Disarray can be communicated, starting a conversation around ideas that revolve around reflection and perception to delving further into understanding chaos.
