The exhibition features – an on-site sculptural installation, a series of photographic prints as drawings of light installed with a poured black floor that acts as an immersive mirror for and with the installation. DeNike spent traces a random path from a series of nearby angel sculptures from a local Brazilian neoclassical garden – where she walked from angel to angel measuring the distance from each angel – marking one continuous length of rope. Artist as surveyor of land and landscape she reinstalled the rope in the exhibition space creating an invisible map of angels, each right angle corresponding to a specific angel from the garden.

A series of minimalistic black and white renderings of light captured within mirrors are hung under the network of ropes. The mirrors in the courtyard form a configuration that oscillate between blank canvases and moving fragments of the spectators present, merging the architecture of the space and the gestures of its inhabitants into a cinematic montage.  In 2010, DeNike directed Scrying: A Ballet in 3 Acts, shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Julia Stoschek Collection in Dusseldorf, followed by the Scrying Trilogy, a series of video, performance, and sculptural works. Scrying, her ballet utilized mirrors as moving sculpture with the dancers. The work Rope Mirror reflects DeNike’s continued interest and use of mirrors as portals but also as containers of our humanity as we move through time and space in a larger universe.
