This work, entitled 'performance and stage set' by Dan Graham, consists of an audience and a cohort of musicians both facing a wall of two-way mirror. both the audience and the musicians can see each other and at the same time a wide angled camera is recording the entire room from behind the two groups of people - this is then displayed on a screen on the other side of the two way glass, meaning that they spectators can see themselves in reflection and a faint image of the entire room displayed behind the mirror. this means that the audience can - and must - view the musicians using the mirror instead of the usual way of looking directly at the musicians face.
