Mirror Me

4K video with sound. 3 minutes. 2026.

Mirror Me ruminates on link rot, when hyperlinks no longer work, leaving internet users with an error 404 and a feeling of loss. This uncanny sensation becomes a daily experience with the pocket mirror we all carry around with us. When the mirror is not watched, does it become a window, a portal to another dimension? As memories are outsourced to platforms and cloud services, digital amnesia creeps in, and the root cause of the sense of loss cannot even be pinpointed. How can lost memories be mourned? The tendency to hoard memories leads to a storage problem. My mother once said that in a house fire she wouldn’t even bother taking the photo albums. You can’t take it with you.
