Sali Muller uses the mirrors as a starting point for her artistic practice in order to "refract" them, break them or fragment them. The unfinished forms, which she simply leaves standing or lying, are one of her artistic peculiarities and recurrent patterns with which she gives us thinking tasks.
An example of this is her multi-part work The Missing Part. Like enigmatic traces or signs, the objects challenge us either to put them together again, to rearrange them or to re-think them. The otherwise narcissistic mirror image and the recognisable space is disturbed or disappears. The view of oneself is reflected only in fragments. The result is an ambivalent perception experiment, alternating between real, virtual or almost surreal images of inside and outside, of moods and states in which past, present and future are reflected.
Fragmentation and the impossibility of reflection is a key theme taken up in the installation The missing part. By removing the middle body or other parts of the mirrors, the viewers are left to gaze into a reflection that is paradoxically missing – only their feet and maybe part of their head remain visible, while the rest of the body and face are cut out in a violent slash.
