Mirror/Butterfly, 2006

Geoffrey Alan Rhodes – Toronto Ontario

Mirror/Butterfly is a looping video installation, from the series, “The Aesthetic of Narcissism.” In the Aesthetics of Narcissism series, Rhodes creates stages for performance out of the circuit from camera through post production. Mirror/Butterflyis an impossible shot into the bathroom mirror, where Rhodes confronts himself, and erases his image except for that bodily essence of flesh and performance that cannot be eliminated.
