Victoria Filina's art installation, "No Matter What You're Looking At, It's Always Your Reflection," delves into the concept of subjective reality and the constraints of perception. The installation showcases a mannequin sporting a leather headband with a double-sided mirrored screen attached to it.

The reflective surface of the mirror provides a constant reflection of the surroundings from both perspectives. The installation urges viewers to approach the mannequin and gaze into the mirrored screen, where they will only see their own reflection. Furthermore, the double-sided mirror ensures that anyone who attempts to view the mannequin's face from the other side will only see their reflection.

The installation challenges the notion of objectivity and emphasizes that our perception of reality is restricted by our personal experiences and projections. It invites viewers to reflect on their perceptions and query how they see the world around them. The reflective surface of the installation serves as a symbol of our tendency to project our selves onto the world, and that reality is always subjective.
