Song Mirror, a performance inside Doug Aitken’s Mirage Gstaad

Taking place on Saturday 29 February 2020, Song Mirror is a new musical performance composed by Doug Aitken that will be performed live by six vocalists from the Los Angeles Master Chorale.

In the tradition of land art as a reflection of the dreams and aspirations projected onto the American West, Mirage Gstaad presents a continually changing encounter in which subject and object, inside and outside are in constant flux. With every available surface clad in mirror, it both absorbs and reflects the landscape around in such ways that the exterior seemingly disappears just as the interior draws the viewer into a never-ending kaleidoscope of light and reflection.
