Video Stills

The video in the mirror cabinet-like object shows a person warming themselves with a hairdryer and looking at their reflection or their counterpart (performer: Lina Grigat). Visitors to the exhibition find themselves in the irritating situation of apparently looking at the reflection of a stranger rather than their own. The person’s motive remains unclear, but they seem to be searching for something in the touch of the warm air on their body.
