The large mirror installation The Phoenix is closer than it appears occupies the exhibition space at the museum's top floor. The cube of mirror glass is a tangible object, yet almost invisible - just a reflection of the architecture. Inside, a boundless place of infinite reflections and in the middle a single swing. When one begins to swing, walls, ceilings and floors disappear in a centrifugal movement where the body seems to be thrown out in an endless space.
