Black Mirror, which is a new version of the piece conceived in 2014, makes reference to a mobile telephone screen that hasn’t been turned on, to «that moment in which [the telephone] is not working, and therefore doesn’t show us virtual reality, but rather offers us a reflection of physical reality». It allows the spectator, through its reflection on the «screen» to be a physical part in a discussion on perception as shaped by digital media, which is understood as a language that modifies the appearance of forms.

Black Mirror (a partir de la obra concebida en 2014) remite a la pantalla de móvil apagada, «ese momento en el que no está en funcionamiento y no nos muestra la realidad virtual, sino el reflejo de nuestra realidad física». Permite al espectador formar parte física de la reflexión en torno a la percepción determinada por los medios digitales (entendida como un lenguaje que modifica la apariencia de las formas) a partir de su reflejo en la «pantalla».
