Prompt for participants: Take a mirror for a walk.
project statement
The French writer and literary critic Stendhal (Marie-Henri Beyle) once asserted that "the novel is a mirror one walks along a path" -- a critique of the ways in which literature is bound to representational form. In this, there is also a critique of everyday life, which is connected no less than literature, to the fictions we tell ourselves every time we look into the mirror. To Walk a Mirror is a thought experiment turned photographic proposition -- what does it like look like when we "walk a mirror" most literally? The challenge given to participants is to take a mirror for a walk, however they decide to creatively render the proposition itself.
