"d-squared's installation for Selfridges
presents a multi-layered and entertaining reading
of the store. Flickering film and projecting light
lure the viewer in, while mirror films reflect their
image back. The installation brings together video,
consumer products, unexpected materials and special
lighting to create intriguing and multi-layered
piece of temporary architecture"
