Specialist note

 ‘The mirror is a symbol that is simultaneously an anti symbol. It is simply the physical and intellectual extension of the human phenomenon: from the eye to the mind and the actions, a person is entirely a series of reflexes and reflections’ (M. Pistoletto, quoted in G. Celant (ed.), Michelangelo Pistoletto, New York 1989, p. 28.)
