"To Turn Upside Down Your Own Eyes", 1970, by Italian arte-povera artist Giuseppe Penone (image attributed to Paolo Pellion).This interacts with both an internal and external space: although the public was probably greatly suprised to see themselves reflected in Giuseppe's eyes, he himself could not see through the mirrored lenses. If there was a public at all -- without one, how does the idea shift?

I think this is an interesting idea. The artist wants to get a reaction out of the audience, but cannot see that reaction. It is also forcing people physically to look back at themselves. Neat.
I think this idea is kinda crazy but cool. The artist wants no connection with the viewers. Instead wants the viewers to only see themselves when they look into his eyes.
The artist does not want to connect to with his viewers thats why he does not create a two sided mirror. I like this effect. cool stuff!
can you "connect" with your viewer in other ways besides looking at them?
