An opportunity to deepen and study the relationship between Architecture and Art

The link between reality and representation, reality and fiction, material and immaterial space is currently more complex and contradictory than ever. The mirror, being passable, deforming and habitable, has been the subject of the works of many contemporary artists, and it is therefore a certainly contemporary topic.
Reflected images and their myriad interpretations provide one with the opportunity to discuss the connections between architecture and art, which nowadays fuse, intertwine and overlap, thereby defining an artistic space which is not only limited to museums, but rather overlaps with reality.

Experts, authors and critics used to fearlessly relinquishing their fields of study will discuss such topic.
