Magical Mirrors

Pera Enabled

In this workshop, after an instructor-led exhibition tour of Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done”, students are introduced to Samih Rifat's works on photography and, in particular, his self-portrait taken through mirrors. Just as people used mirrors to paint self-portraits before the invention of the camera, students design mirrors on which they can also paint themselves using materials such as beads, stamps, black background cardboard, and mirrored cardboard.
