Giovanni Arnolfini and his young wife
Giovanni Arnolfini and his young wife, 1984

ZWN Lerarenopleiding Delft 1984 / Berlin Art Week Berlin 2014/The Time is Right For... Summerhall, Edinburgh 2017

Van Eyck portrayed himself as a witness to the wedding of Giovanni Arnolfini and his young wife in the mirror in this painting. Here, the painted mirror is replaced with a monitor, which is connected to a hidden camera. The spectators see themselves in the mirror and are witnesses, like they can be witnesses to basically anything in the age of media.

Exhibited again in Berlin, during Berlin Art Week 2014 and in Edinburgh, in the exhibition The Time is Right For... Summerhall 2017
The Time is Right For... Summerhall, Edinburgh 2017
