About The Artwork

2 identical mirrors (2.44 m x 1.22 m) are hanging parallel in space on a 4 metal strings. In between the two mirrors are parts of a body sculpture in plaster, also hanging, but on transparent strings from the wall. There is a hole with a diameter of 25.80 mm scratched into the back surface of the mirror for the spectator to look through. The visual effect is the view into infinity. A sound piece by the artist citing fragmented phrases containing neologisms accompanies the viewer's gaze into infinity. Both works, visual and auditory are one. If the imaginary construction of the subject's body in the mirror is fragmented, so is his speech. This fragmented, paranoid phase is the one before the accumulation of syntax and structure in early childhood indicating the specular body as 'orthopedic'. In cases of paranoia and schizophrenia the structure of the one (unity) in image and speech is also abolished. 'Infinity' is a metaphor for the multitude of imaginary projections onto the two-dimensional surface of the mirror revealing the subject's structure if these projections are articulated by his speech.

Zizi Rincolisky primarily writes texts about her experiences in different continents, countries and cultures. But writing alone is not enough for her. She searches for a visual image that approaches her idea about how these words containing meaning can be transformed into the thing, the object of art. The latter could be an installation, a painting, a photograph or text combined with drawings. But even this is not enough, Zizi wants encore, which she transforms into en corps in her performances and her films by using her body as a third element in the composition of text – object and body. Her work is inspired by the theory and practice of the philosopher and psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, who differs from the other analysts by his new definition of ‘feminine enjoyment’, beyond Freud for whom ‘anatomy is destiny.’ On the level of ’being’, a woman looks for ‘more’ (encore), beyond the limit of the phallus, what Lacan calls ‘surplus jouissance.’ This encore or surplus jouissance passes through each of the artist work like a leitmotiv.
