Reflections, Inversions, Symmetries

Taking a more structural approach to the filmed image, this work explores a preoccupation with reflections, with Deleuze and the 'crystal image'. Gaston Bachelard, in Water and Dreams, thought Narcissus might never fall in love with his reflection had he seen himself in a clear glass mirror – rather he needed the mirror like surface of a pool, animated with the movement of wind, with depths and currents, translucency, reflected sky, the perceptual distortions that stimulate imagination and reverie.
