OCULUS is the Latin and architectural term for a circular opening that provides light and air to a building. We translated that idea into an outdoor object. Few architectural elements have as much impact on their surroundings as a mirror. Oculus is a design object that reflects the world above from its position on the ground. The viewer’s position determines the reflection: the sky, the treetops or the surroundings appear from an unexpected perspective. With every step, the field of vision shifts. Its angle creates the illusion of a cylindrical viewing tube that seems to continue underground. Oculus functions as a gateway between two worlds, revealing the existing surroundings from an unusual angle. The object invites you to stand still, change position and look again. Oculus has a specially treated silver layer designed to withstand sun and rain. Its metal frame has a rusty brown finish. The mirror sits slightly recessed within the deeper frame and thus well protected all around.
