This is a Mirror is a collection of instructional poems that make use of the reader’s participation. They merge the playful with the philosophical, transform the artistic into the everyday, and encourage the reader to digest rather than consume.
Description
Likana Cana’s This is a Mirror offers a space for pause, quiet, attention, reflection, and care for a chaotic, hyper-connected world we live in. This is done through instructional poems, inspired by the Fluxus movement, that focus more on the creative process rather than the artwork itself. Like art performance scenarios, they feel as if reading a user’s manual about life. The practice of care for our own selves is presented by intermixing art with ritualistic practices and elements from our daily lives. Readers are often reminded and encouraged, often in entertaining ways, to enjoy the small moments in life — the very ones that life is made up of but which we often forget about.
Through this book, art is brought outside of a gallery, to be performed and created organically with minimal requirements. As the readers perform the artist’s instructions, they are transformed from a public into co-creators.
