Mirroring an Exposed World

I am showing the exposed world I recently exhibited the picture "Dancer" of Irving Penn at the Whitney Museum of Art. Amazing thing about these pictures is not that they are naked Alexandra Baylor, but as she normally thinks she is not the body of a naked dancer. She is not tall, the muscles are well defined, and the breasts are hardly developed. No, she is very fat. In the camera of the University of Pennsylvania, Baylor had a big risk. She tries to make people think that it is not a fat woman, but a dancer.

Patterson: She was in contact with the mirror very soon. At first, she looked for another gorilla behind the mirror, but eventually it changed it and used it as a tool to do all the activities people do. Finally, I performed an official test and marked it. I did the same thing with Michael. He was rubbing with a towel before, but this time I painted it with a pink paint secretly. He was shocked when he saw the mirror. I noticed that his forehead appeared torn.

The ability to identify ourselves in the mirror is a very rare ability in the animal kingdom. Until today, only humans and apes show convincing evidence that reflects self-awareness. Two dolphins are exposed to the reflective surface, but both show a reaction consistent with the use of a mirror to examine the apparent part of the body. This ability to use mirrors to examine body parts is a prominent example of apes and human evolution. The ability to reflect self-identification (MSR) is seen only in humans and apes (1-8). In humans, MSR does not appear reliably until 18-24 months (9), indicating the beginning of an increasingly abstract process of self consciousness, including introspection and attribution of mental states (10, 11). )

These two mirrors are very different. The first one is broken, twisted and dirty. It shows us the broken world, it is just our broken heart. We try to modify them by chasing their reflection - people, places, ideas can only reflect our wounds - but how can we repair ourselves broken? What? Therefore, happiness, love, and peace are avoiding us. The second mirror is pure and perfect, and clean. It tells us who we are. We are not mirrors themselves now, they are mirrors themselves. We are not just scratches, scars, and broken hearts. We are a powerful river flowing through all beings, called love. Everything is a mere reflection of this mirror, and the mirror itself is a mirror. How is that possible?
