Description: An exhibition and performance exploring the theme of mirrors through photography and poetic form.

Brief:

In a series of poetry and photography workshops Young Identity poets worked with Keisha Thompson and Gary Sikhosana to explore theme of mirrors.

The process: double exposure and palindromes

The result: An exhibition and performance at Contact theatre

The project: MIRRORS

Fragmenting shards cutting skin
Desperately trying miserably failing
Warm and salty tears dripping snot
Gone all control (reverse)

Joe Farle

PALINDROMES

EDDIE McALPINE

gurglingly lingual – lingually gurgling

curiously looking – looking curious

I’ve accepted the responsibility

that some parts of you will come from me

innocently amusing – amusingly innocent

lovingly tireless – tirelessly loved

SOPHIE SYMONS-REID

You held breaths

red-faced you

constructed life

your instinct pure

recreate pure

instinct your life

constructed

you faced red

breaths held you
