Typical mirrors reverse the image of the person who looks in them. "True Mirrors" create images which are not reversed, and provide a way to rectify the falsifying powers of a regular mirror. Robert Smithson's mirrors remove the human presence entirely. His "Enantiomorphic Chambers" are constructed so that you cannot see yourself, but instead you can see infinite regresses, multiple points of view and "double vanishing points": in all, for Smithson, it creates the effect of "infinity without space."

(Simply put, Smithson potentially transmits the image of mirrored human identity back to the Real that is prior to the construction of the imaginary.)
