MacGuffin #16 The Mirror

MacGuffin #16 takes on The Mirror, exploring the object from every possible angle. As always, the issue is divided into three sections—this time Self, Shadow, and Space—moving from Narcissus and the rise of the fit check to mirrors in films, architecture, art, design, and even experiments in animal self-awareness. Inside, you'll also find photographs of gym selfies, a Norwegian town using mirrors to bring sunlight to its streets, failed mirrors, Ettore Sottsass's iconic Ultrafragola, and a look at the radical use of mirrors by 1960’s artists, who sought to transform reflection from a passive to an active experience. 

With each issue based around a single object, MacGuffin magazine is a platform for fans of inspiring, personal, unexpected, highly familiar or utterly disregarded things. Widely recognized as a fabulously designed and immaculately researched design & crafts biannual, it is an indispensable resource for all those who want backstage information about the life of things.
