How does the mirror know what's behind the paper? Explained!

The viral video explained. How can you see the object behind the paper? How does the mirror know it’s there? Several people shared the original Tiktok video with me and asked for an explanation. It’s easily explained if you understand how light reflects off a mirror. In these videos, you’ll notice that the observer or the phone is always positioned close to the mirror – that’s the key to the…

Watch your back. "Homosexual Art Attack" music video debuting tomorrow. I hear if you play it in reverse three times in a dark room in a mirror, it summons a party ghost.

Image Description: A processed photograph that looks like a U.S.-mint-style engraving with a printer error so the cyan and red inks are slightly offset. In the foreground, Romie's face from the eyes up. In the background, a reflection of Romie's head and shoulders, and her hands holding a smartphone.

Mirror Illusions Last week, my best friend Rohina and I were supposed to have dinner together and as I walked into their home I realized that Ro was still getting ready and that I had some time to spare before we headed out. Her younger sister Zahra and I had been wanting to do a shoot together for a few weeks now but every time we would plan it out, something would come up. So it ended up being the perfect opportunity to take the time to do a mini photoshoot with Zahra before dinner. I had recently been inspired by Laura Williams surreal self portrait which went viral where she's out in a field holding a mirror. Zahra was willing to take on the outdoor inspired challenge with me so we went out to the fields outlying her backyard with a gold framed mirror in the freezing cold to take the photos. Zahra was such a trooper and managed to hold still and maintain her composure and beauty throughout the photos seen above before we headed inside to warm up.

All photos are taken with a Canon 5D Mark III paired with a 50mm lens unless otherwise stated.

                                   Isn't that...me?

          The young boy had just obtained another world key, the second one to be exact. Chelsy's world. A sharp inhale at the the thought. The small blond had quickly pushed away everything that had happened thus far and went back to the other boy occupying the room. He had exited the room-key clutched tightly in his nimble fingers, when the carbon-copy was ascending the staircase that led to the rabbit. It led to automatic confusion.

          The boy contemplates for a short moment-to go talk to (himself?) or to simply stay put. He decided to cross out the latter and head over to the other.

           "Are you me?" He wanted to get straight to the point-he was far too upset to try and force himself through small talk. Besides, it's not like the other-him (maybe) wouldn't be confused.

Is Dalston House the worst piece of art ever?

Artworks are shit but they look great on pictures.

There’s been a lot of hype around this installation by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich launched three weeks ago in Dalston, the beating heart of East London’s hipsterville. To much media frenzy, the artwork commissioned by Barbican Art Gallery was described as an “interactive, three-dimensional illusion" where thanks to an old mirror trick, you feel like you’re dangling off the windows of a Victorian terrace house.

But what is it really about? Time travel? Scaling? Twisted perspectives?

Yes, it’s great fun and also a wonderful pastime for mums and dads. It cracks you up and you can’t wait to show the pictures to your mates. But the exhibition is only supposedly interactive. You are lying on a piece of plaster and while snapping those images the best you can get is to feel like an extra on a clever film set.

People seem to have discovered mirror tricks some time ago, but nobody really bothered to call it art. Still, the Dalston House exhibition is not just a beautiful playground. It is important for highlighting something else. It shows how today’s art has been reduced to a gimmick. Art is funny. We don’t preoccupy ourselves with the concepts of representation anymore. Or the art’s supposedly subversive elements. It’s not about the artwork, but your image of the artwork.

Artworks are shit but they look great on pictures. In the ubiquitous media context it’s much better than the other way round. That’s why Dalston House doesn’t exist outside your Instagram photos. Lying on the plaster board you are not experiencing much. The only way you ‘participate’ is in the creation of an illusion that there is an experience. There isn’t one. And to remind you even further who is the real boss behind this installation, your camera will always be present in every picture you take. Say cheese.
