In the project 'Landscape Mirror' students of the Master of Landscape Architecture of the TU Delft have made an interactive project that evolves over the course of Oerol, a unique yearly recurring festival on the Wadden-Sea Island Terschelling for location theatre and land art installations. The design focuses on making people aware of the strikingly different types of landscapes appearing so close to each other in the cross section of the island.

In the 10-day installation, the different landscape types, consisting of beach, dunes, forest, city and polder, were mirrored from the highest dune onto the beach in a spatial design. A camera obscura, situated on this dune, gave the opportunity to look at the real as well as the mirrored landscape. Visitors first experienced the landscape through the eye of the camera before walking themselves into the area depicted there. After strolling down the dune in the direction of the beach, they passed through a dense forest built out of bamboo sticks. Walking further, they arrived into the temporary village where the public was introduced to the polder at the shore line. Besides experiencing the spatial qualities of the island, the public could also influence the space itself by densifying the forest, and preventing the city from flooding by improving the polder. In this way, the visitors of the festival where made aware of the constantly changing character of the landscape in a scale model where tidal movements simulated geological changes.

The design and building is a project of the students of TU Delft. DGJ's Daniel Jauslin was part of the teaching team, and DGJ Rotterdam signed the building permit for the camera obscura as licensed architect as a sponsoring contribution. Therefore it became only partially a DGJ project.
