"The Portrait in a Mirror" 2008
KIM Dongho, YIM Sungyul, KANG Kyung-Kyu
Through analysis by a video camera and image sensor, the image of the visitor is displayed on a mirror-type LCD monitor. The style of the image that appears is determined by the distance between the work and the visitor. As the visitor approaches, his image changes from an ordinary mirror image to something like a painting. This work explores a new approach to portraiture in the digital age.
