Art on campus: The distorted mirror world in Polak
Throughout the floors of Polak, next to the elevators, you can find one of the most simplistic pieces of art, but with a much deeper meaning than it looks like at first sight. This is the work of the Dutch artist Willem Oorebeek, who made it on the occasion of the building’s opening in 2015.

This artwork is named Ogenblikken and it depicts, in a sublime way, a black wall filled with holes. It is usually overlooked by the students due to the artist’s simplistic approach. Most of the people consider it to be a wall or just a part of the building.
Nevertheless, Luuk Bode from the art department, explains the reasons behind the subtle nature of this work: “If you look closely, there’s a lot more going on because behind the holes there are silver plates and they’re slanted. When you walk by, the reflection gives very different shapes.”
World distorted
Bode encourages everybody to take a closer look and experience the distorted version of the world. The reflection is the essence of this piece of art: Students can discover different aspects of the world and of themselves, by becoming part of the artwork itself.
