In the following I attached some extracts from the diaries. I found it quiet extraordinary how much I actually got to know about the person's lifes. | |||

There was a diversity of motivations for looking in the mirror: | |||
*checking one's outfit, | |||
*checking one's tiredness, | |||
*fighting one's self-doubts, | |||
*for practical reasons, | |||
*well... the mirror was there | |||
*and so on. | |||
But most striking is the fact that almost all of them stated in one way or another that they sometimes wished not to see their reflection or that it was totally unnecessary to look in the mirror. | |||
''''Video Mock-Up'''' | |||
With the video mock-up I seized on the idea of a mirror that can refuse to give an mirror image. For narrative reasons I settled on a more traditional concept of being able to set a mirror to 'mute'. | |||
Wouldn't it be great to decide wether a mirror shows one's reflection or not? | |||
