Through The Looking Glass
By Dean Norton & Studio John Fish
Commissioned by Chadstone for Light To Night 2026
Constructed from 3200kg of custom dichroic glass, 480m of LED strips and 160 mirrored panels, the work consists of 20 monolithic glass columns, each housing an internal octagonal column of silver mirror and linear lighting.
A depth sensor captures the audience’s movement in realtime. As the viewers move throughout the work, reflections, colour and light continually transform and react, creating an experience that is both visually captivating and contemplative.
This immersive artwork explores reflection as an active experience, where viewer, light, movement and space interact through mirror and glass, shifting perception in realtime time.
Huge thanks to all the wonderful people who helped make this artwork happen.
