TIME mirrors are unique, person-sized, silkscreened mirrors bearing the iconic logo and red border of the international weekly news magazine TIME. The mirrors are based on individual covers of the magazine that reference cultural or cosmological notions of time, history, perception and encounter.
Each mirror is specific to a weekly issue of the magazine. The typography and all the other elements, which slightly vary from one mirror to the next, directly correspond to the design used for the magazine issues whose original photographic cover image Thomson has effectively erased in favor of the viewer’s own reflection.
Californian artist Mungo Thomson (born in 1969 in Davis, lives and works in Los Angeles) seizes the everyday disposable consumer objects of our time and produces anthropological relics for the future. He explores popular culture and everyday objects, using elements such as the covers of the notorious Time magazine. Through his eclectic body of work which includes film, sculpture, photography, music and books, Thomson leads us to question what we most take for granted, or fail to notice.
