Black Mirror
Unlocking openness through a tiny mirror painted in black
Artistic interactive experience where a participant comes inside a room where there is an object - a tiny black mirror - on a chair and a white sheet of paper with a prompt. On the sheet of paper the participant reads a question about their life experience they consider to be dark. While sitting on the chair, the participant takes a tiny black mirror and talks into it as if it would be a microphone about this dark experience.
After talking to the black mirror, the participant leaves the space. By the exit, the participant finds a rainbow cupcake.
This experience aims to spark a feeling of curiosity about the darkness. It aims to ignite openess with the self, from where the openness within society starts from. Finding a cupcake is also essential part - it works as a transformation twist where reflecting on one's experiences creates insights that can lead to ideas (a metaphor of going from deconstruction to construction, from darkness to light).
Feedback wanted:
Would you rather talk to an object or a real human? I mean, would you like to talk to a tiny black mirror or to a real person hidding on another side of a huge black mirror instead?
I'd like to create such an experience in an art festival and online.
