We would observe ourself through the mirror in most of time. In the fashion consumption, we buy various clothes to dress ourselves up, and we decide whether to buy or not through the reflection of mirror or the words from others. What we buy might be not the clothes themselves, but a series of symbolic meanings such as temperament, personality, taste, figure and so on that it symbolizes. We seem to live in a world, shaping ourselves by the symbolic meanings mirrored by goods. However, what kinds of impacts do this implicit way of thinking that see goods as a series of symbolic meaning and remove its temporality have on our lives?
This project used a set of interactive mirrors as a medium to stimulate people to reflect on the relationship between self and objects through the seeing way that is to remove part of self in the mirror.
