4 loop videos, paper and thread. Model: Xia Gao "Mirrors are doors through which Death comes and goes. Look at yourself and look at all your life in a mirror and you will see death at work " Jean Cocteau ("Orpheus") This project comes from the existing link between face, identity, memory and death. The work consists of a set of video portraits where we see the face of a person looking at himself in a mirror, recognizing in his own face. In each video the person is doing the introspective action of remembering different times of his life. Thus, while identified in the features of his face, he also reconstructs his identity through memory. These mental images of time past brought to to the present cause a crash, and a greater awareness of time passing. The project seeks to focus attention and evoke those images hidden from memory. The distorted image of the face that we are observing creates a parallel with the distorted image that memory offers of oneself, underlining also the idea of a moving painting. The projection on paper hanging on the air works in the same seeking of a painting result, while giving greater fragility and lightness to the image, in a spectral presence. "Mirrors should reflect a little bit more before returning his image" Jean Cocteau
