The Frankfurter Kunstverein was presenting the group exhibition “Per Speculum Me Video” as its contribution to the new B3 Moving Image Biennial. It brings together works by nine artists who explore the construction of the self in contemporary video art and photography. Sounding like a long forgotten magical spell, the Latin title of the exhibition underscores that self-perception and the development of the ego are coupled with the recognition of one’s own image in the mirror.
