Elina Brotherus- Le' Miror

While looking at Brotherus for my other project i noticed her images Le'miror a collection of photographs taken to go along side her video of the same title. 

The images depict Broutherus (as she often works in self portrature) reflected in the bathroom mirror as the steam from a bath or shower disappears to show more of her looking in the mirror. While this has not alot to do with what ive been looking at of late, i was thinking of going into multiples and grids with my images, either the likes of a large grid of images of a similar time or dyptics or tryptics of images. So when i noticed that she uses multiples this is what made me stop and look at this. However the idea of the use of a mirror is interesting due to the idea of the superstition of 7years bad luck if your to break a mirror.

While the image is very straight forward and very simple in construction with the over the shoulder camera positioning and the stragicially placed toothbrushes, its the repition that makes this squence interesting, and just how we stat to see more and more thats revealed, almost as if to say, the more u see yourself the more is revealed. I also like that everything remains the same except the one thing, the mirror.  which is something i like the idea of, repition.
