The Art of Mirrors
Derek Jarman, 1973, UK, 16mm, 6'

The Art of Mirrors, shot on super 8, features figures moving in the foreground and background of an empty space, holding mirrors which occasionally flash in the lens of the camera. The images portrayed in the film are reminiscent of Jarman’s abstract landscape paintings of the same period. In his diary Jarman wrote: “This is something that could only be done on a Super 8 camera, with it`s built in meters and effects.”
