"The mirrored floor gives no main directional indication of space-- one finds oneself in its centre. But, this centre is not a specific place on the floor, rather it is like the centre of a 'sphere' in which all directions are equal.... On the mirror floor we find ourselves, therefore, in the middle of what is in principle a homogenous and directionless space....
... The reflecting floor is an 'indistinct' mirror floor.... The reflection creates a belowness, one which shifts between light and dark in that objects, cieling and walls are transformed and converted into diffuse forms as they are reflected downwards. The characteristic has a counter effect on objects above the floor. Objects are optically detached and freed from the floor on which they stand. They seem to stand only on their own shadows."
