THE CAMERA DOESN’T LIKE ITS PORTRAIT, 2006

A video camera records its image in a mirror which is being rear-engraved to create a portrait of the camera. The mirror is strongly illuminated from behind so that the engraving appears as glowing drawing superimposed over the camera’s reflection. Once the engraving is completed the mirror smashes.

12 minute video. Edition of five. Cinematography: Jan Baracz.
