What would it be like to live with a face or inhabit a body that, without the help of the mirror, was known mainly through the eyes of others?

Since prehistory the man has been interested in his image, having used all kinds of resources like dark glossy stones or still water – and after all, in the eyes of his lover the man could already see his double.

In love the mirror is the other one.
