1. a reflecting surface, originally of polished metal but now usually of glass with a silvery, metallic, or amalgam backing.

3. a surface upon which the image of an object is reproduced.
the collection includes
1. One small rectangular mirror pried off the inside of an inexpensive eyeshadow palette. The adhesive was weaker, and thus required less effort to remove.
2. Another small rectangular mirror from a different eyeshadow trio from the same brand. Both are approximately 1” x 3”.
3. The mirror from the underside of the lid of a Victoria’s Secret makeup palette. This was very difficult to remove. I basically broke the lid off of the entire thing, and I needed a sharp knife to hack away at the topmost decorative layer of the lid to even get to the mirror backing.
4. Another small circular mirror from a foundation compact. The mirror is still attached to a section of the container. The mirror was set too deep to pry off.
5. A shard from a smaller mirror of another powder foundation compact. The glue which adhered this to the compact was very strong, and when I tried to force the mirror off, it shattered, and I bled all over the kitchen countertop.
6. A video demonstrating the effects of light shining directly into a mirror and reflecting into the lens of a camera.
7. A photograph or sculpture of mirror shards attached to a web of wire. The web will either hang overhead, or curve forward like an awning.
8. A photograph of mirrors attached to an unfinished wooden base. The mirrors will be attached on a number of flat, angled planes.
9. A photograph of a sculpture of mirror fragments hanging from thin chains. The sculpture will resemble an infant’s mobile.
10. A photograph of a sculpture in which mirror fragments stand upright in a bed of small pebbles or sand. They overlap one another to create a very distorted reflection.

I think you should keep on pushing the idea of "play" in your videos. There are several things operating in that piece you showed:
ReplyDelete1. Thinking about the fragmentation of the body through visual play. What is the purpose of creating illusion not possible in reality?
2. The mirror sculpture that functions to fragment the depiction of the body. Is it possible to make more combinations of these things?
3. A performance acted in front of the camera.
I think you should really experiment with this series of work to open new potentials.
