Transcience of Lex Pott and David Derksen shows the beauty of the natural oxidizing process inherent in mirrors. This process can be regarded as degradation, however this project exhibits the beauty of this material transition of silver. By accelerating and manipulating this process, the Transcience mirrors illustrate the various stages of oxidation through the repetition of fundamental geometric shapes. Depending on the time that the silver is treated, different colour tones can be achieved, ranging from gold to brown, to purple to blue.
Materials: Mirror glass with oxidated silver, diameter 63,2 cm.
