Unframing the Self · Live Mirror Painting Intervention
This project is a live mirror painting [express] intervention carried out during a press conference in Tarragona, commissioned by Tarragona Jove. The action transformed the mirror into an active surface, where painting, reflection, and performance unfolded in real time.
By intervening directly on the reflective surface, the work challenges the way our bodies and identities are framed, perceived, and regulated through external gazes. The painted gestures act as visual interruptions, altering the reflection and exposing how perception is never neutral, but shaped by cultural, social, and normative frameworks.
The mirror operates as a metaphor for focus: what we choose to see, what is excluded, and how our self-image is constructed through these limitations. In this context, identity is presented not as a fixed image, but as a mutable and unstable process, constantly negotiated between self-perception and imposed ways of seeing.
