The Mirror in the Bathroom portraits fully exploit the potential of the Folding Stereoscopic Viewer to create a real sense of human presence. We see each subject from her own point of view as she regards herself in her bathroom mirror. The spatial arrangement and tactile nature of the life-size, three-dimensional images serve to reinforce the connection between the viewer and the viewed.

The Folding Stereoscopic Viewer utilises front-surface mirrors and high-resolution photographic prints to recreate full-size three-dimensional scenes that have been captured with a specially designed camera system. In addition to the existing images, such as EVE and the Mirror in the Bathroom series, stereoscopic portraits and other subjects can be specially commissioned for display in the viewer.
