A live film performance by Guy Sherwin.
SPOILER: The following description explains how the performance is created.
The performance involves Sherwin holding up a mirror which is painted white on the back, acting as a screen. The image is projected from a Super 8 projector onto the screen/mirror.
The projected image, which shows Sherwin holding a similar mirror/screen in a park was shot in 1976. The intention was to perform the piece later in the year it was made. However as time has passed and Sherwin has been asked to repeat the performance, it has taken on new meaning as the performer has aged and time has moved on.
