Mirrors blog

Upon stepping outside into the cold, dreary rainy day I didn't quite know what to expect from this activity. Saraswati and I were partners and we aligned our mirrors then made faces while following the assignment instructions. It was an interesting exercise because it was my first actual introduction to performance art aside from just reading about it. It seemed that this performance art is somewhat spontanious and built upon what could be considered a mundane activity (looking in a mirror) to instead an activity which imitates and expands on that, while utilizing another person. The activity becomes not about just looking into a mirror, but instead the relationship between myself and the other person with the mirror only as a connecting bridge. It was a simple yet good introduction to the performance arts.
