You're Gorgeous, You're Mad
THE WORK PROCESS
Stage 1 - I began the project by recording a series of audio confessions revealing how each individual perceives herself or himself, as well as how others perceive them.
A few days after their long audio interviews, the participants joined the second phase of the project: facing a two-way mirror, while listening to a recording of their own comments about themselves.

Stage 2
As they listen to their own audio, participants are filmed from the opposite side of the two-way mirror. The audio included two segments: what they and “others” appreciate about themselves, verses what they would prefer to hide.

Stage 3
In the final video installation, the two segments are re-connected and displayed simultaneously. One of the videos is flipped, depicting each participant as seen in the mirror.
