Mirror from the project 3 to 5 Seconds - Rapid handmade production.
3 to 5 Seconds is like many other of Jenny Nordberg’s projects part of a larger and ongoing work about how we produce and consume today, how we’ve done historically and how we could do it in the future. In the project 3 to 5 Seconds she examines how different properties from the handmade and mass produced can be combined. 3 to 5 seconds is about bringing together contradictions and hard to achieve qualities. The project combines the uniqueness of the handmade and the speed of the mass produced. Is it possible to make one of a kind handmade items really fast?
The various production methods in the 3 to 5 Seconds project all have in common that every moment should be made within three to five seconds. The project was begun in the summer of 2014 and is continuously ongoing.
"During the summer of 2014 while working with the project 3 to 5 Seconds – Rapid handmade production I researched the making of mirrors. The process and outcome was so thrilling that I had to continue working with this traditional method of making mirrors. The process I’m using was invented in the 19th century and is resulting in a thin layer of silver (Ag) on the glass surface." - Jenny Nordberg
The mirrors are available in six different colours and three sizes. All of the mirrors are completely unique.
