Example No.5,
Human Self-Reflection
(Clippers made in China)

Human Self-Reflection is an installation work, with Example No.5 a single-screen linear film alternative.

In the installation piece, viewers are faced with a digital mirror, in which their face is made up of sample video footage, forcing them to reflect upon issues which they might usually ignore or deny - like environmental catastrophe, or third world exploitation, or even their own inner beauty.

The video version is a representation of the mirror in action, with a man using clippers to shave, and his image made up of footage from chinese factories. The linear work is four minutes long.
