MacGuffin #16 - The Mirror
“The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror,” observed filmmaker Agnès Varda. “Turn it the other way, and you see the world.” This issue of the magazine does exactly that, exploring a realm of seasonal darkness and manipulated sunshine, facial recognition and fit checks, Claude glasses and mirror balls, fleeting reflections and idealised selfies, narcissistic echoes and confessional essays. Featuring photographer Shahram Saadat, novelist Peter Delpeut, design educator Ghalia Elsrakbi, fashion researcher Aude Fellay, chemist-turned-curator Fulvio Ferrari, architect Sam Jacob, designer Sabine Marcelis, visual artist Iriée Zamblé, writer Kandace Siobhan Walker, and many more.
MacGuffin is a platform featuring extraordinary stories about the life of ordinary things. In magazines, presentations and collaborations it discusses the numerous and sometimes curious relationships we have with the design that surrounds us. Each edition is based around a single object, exploring the highly familiar or utterly disregarded role it plays in our lives.
