The Mirror Stage

• Directed by

Simon Fujiwara

At the age of 11, the artist encountered an abstract painting by Patrick Heron in his hometown museum of Tate St Ives, Cornwall. According to Fujiwara, the painting acted as a "mirror to his soul" and elicited both an artistic and a sexual awakening. In The Mirror Stage, he is seen helping a young actor to portray himself in a theatrical reimagining of that moment.
