Art of Mirrors

The film features a series of figures moving against a backdrop defined by empty space and mirrors. The mirrors occasionally flash in the lens, creating a visual experience that is distinctive to super 8 filmmaking. Jarman believed that the inherent qualities of the super 8 camera allowed for creative effects that could not be replicated in other formats.

Art of Mirrors has connections to Jarman's later work, particularly with the title's reworking in his 1975 script for Dr Dee The Art Of Mirrors and The Summoning Of Angels. This short film stands as a testament to Jarman's innovative approach to visual storytelling and his exploration of abstract themes through the medium of film. Physical media collectors may find value in the film's artistic expression and its place within Jarman's oeuvre.
