    Silvered glass has a reflecting surface, and the material used to be known as ‘poor man’s silver’. But for Simon Klenell the spherical mirror is a tool with which to shift our perspective on existence, and perhaps view our surroundings and our bodies in a new way. The title Rundgång can mean both ’feedback’ in an acoustic context, or a looping motion as in a vicious circle.
