Cloaking Device?

Cloaking Device?

Unfortunately, this is not some new military invisibility technology or otherworldly spacescraft. It’s a work of art created with mirrors by Michael De Broin, deep in the forests of Alsace of Germany.

Prototype

Here is the model De Broin used to fashion the final, large-scale sculpture.

De Broin says the sculpture, called “Superficial,” is about a “notion of transparency,” and that:

The large stone, tucked away deep in the woods, became a reflective surface for its surroundings. In this play of splintered radiance, the rock disappears in its reflections. Because it reflects one cannot be mislead by its presence, yet we cannot seize it, rather it is the rock that reflects us.
