Dara Birnbaum
Director
Mirroring (1975)
“In this early performance-based work, Birnbaum investigates the notion of video as a mirror to create a psychological self-portrait. Devising a simple but ingenious formal exercise, she layers real and reflected images to articulate metaphorically the duality of internal and external selves.” –Lori Zippay, in “Dara Birnbaum: The Dark Matter of Media Light”, eds. Karen J.Kelly, Barbara Schröder, and Giel Vandecaveye
