Voor de spiegel
1931
Oskar Schlemmer presents a figure that looks less like a human and more like a polished wooden mannequin, sporting a neck long enough to rival a giraffe's. Staring intensely into a mirror, the reflection is just a ghostly, abstract blur, suggesting that self-reflection isn't always clear-cut. As a Bauhaus master, Schlemmer was obsessed with geometry and treating the body as a mechanical object, which explains why this subject looks constructed from bronze tubes. It's a moody, 1931 meditation on identity that feels surprisingly modern—like a cyborg having an existential crisis in a dark room.
