Mirror Room 2010 Zhou Xiaohu Frame by frame argil animation 7minutes 20 seconds The animated scenes unfold through private life dramas and "inner drama" performances. The male protagonist's self-gaze and mirror infatuation in the "cave" mirror space present the entire process of self-misunderstanding due to being too deeply immersed in the role.The male lead in the bathroom keeps performing a transformation: facing the mirror, he takes on multiple roles, those sudden flashes of inspiration, those narcissistic looks, a graceful lady, an entertainment star, or a powerful political figure...The images in the mirror satisfy all kinds of self-expectations and delirium.The fabricated fans and supporters raise the threshold of delusion, and the private space is upgraded to a public arena for power struggle.
