Aphex Continuums is a site-specific installation created for hairstylist Ignacio Sarube’s Art Deco studio in Montevideo, transforming the space into a terrain of fragmented reflection and perceptual shifts.
At its core, Aphex Arcan disrupts the symmetry of the original fireplace with a sprawling shattered mirror intervention that splinters light, space, and self-image—evoking a state of ongoing transformation. In the styling area, three totemic sculptures crafted from raw concrete and mirrored surfaces rise to 260 cm, echoing brutalist forms while resonating with the studio’s geometric elegance. These 360° navigable pieces blur boundaries between interior and exterior, solidity and reflection, inviting an immersive encounter where architecture and body fold into one another.
