A mirror is a smooth or polished surface (as of glass) that forms images by reflection as well it is something that gives a true likeness or description.
But what is a true likeness?
Mirrors allow us to see ourselves. They show us what we look like, they let us examine ourselves, and they can give us a glimpse of our ancestry and heritage. Sometimes a mirror will show you a part of you that you did not notice before, and there is beauty in that.
The mirror image is an objectified representation of ourselves and allow seeing us as through the gaze of an another. And what if a city is mirrored as part of our appearance?
‘Mirroring this city’ happened in Mannheim as part of Zeitraums and PAS performance studies.
I the city a woman strolls through the streets, dressed in an outfit made of garbage bags.
She places a mirror square in front of her face, thus making her head a reflection of what happens during her walk.
The streets are shown in different angles and sometimes an improvised meeting is invited.
