Guardare (e vedere) allo specchio

Ivana Bianchi

pp. 35-54

Abstract

Reflections are interesting perceptual phenomena, which have inspired both scientific research in the psychology of perception and research in the visual arts. The paper discusses one of the most peculiar aspect of mirror images, i.e. the fact that they are characterized by identity and opposition at the same time. The discussion encompasses not only the experimental literature, but it also relies on considerations from a series of artworks – which are based on the manipulation of the structure of mirror images. Both art and science can make us aware of some of the processes involved in seeing.
