Through The Looking Glass
Ylikoski Maria
Through the looking glass is an attempt to examine the constant inner monologue/dialogue taking place within us. We talk with ourselves more than with anyone else. We fight against ourselves more than against anyone else. One actor plays two sides of the same person, Me and Self, engaged in discussion in this two channel video installation. Self is acting, Me is reacting.
