According to Jaar, despite the various possible strategies to replicate the reality, one can never achieve a completely faithful reproduction of it. Another approach of Jaar is to cause empathy with his works, that means to obtain the identification of the viewer and his intellectual interest in the subject. Condition: The mirrors show minor signs of age, and the light box is minimally worn. The dimensions of the light box are 78 x 99.5 x 10 cm, and the mirrors measure 43 x 43 cm. During in-house testing, the light box was in working order, but long-term functionality cannot be guaranteed. Alfredo Jaar (b. 1956) The Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar works especially in the field of installation, dealing with political issues such as immigration and genocide. He also examines the influence of media and his own role as a producer of images. Jaar has repeatedly exhibited at the Documenta in Kassel, as well as at the Venice Biennial. In summer 2012, works by Jaar were presented in three Berlin institutions, the Neue Gesellschaft für Bildende Kunst in Berlin (NGBK), the Alte Nationalgalerie and the Berlinische Galerie.
