The artist: The mirror phenomenon.

Abstract

The complex processes of selfobservation and selfcorrection are explored a con dition for fullfledged creativity. The stage of a mirror, or the mechanism of a mirror is interpreted as productive states of the artist’s consciousness in any kind of art. Along with spontaneity and intuition, creativity requires a thirdparty view, grinding and evaluating the work being created. Often this is the artist (actor, musician) him self/herself, his/her own detached view that functions as such an outsider, the Other. Thus, the dialogue of the creator is tied to his/her own self, in the process of creation the artist acts as the director of himself.
