“The mirror stage establishes the ego as fundamentally dependent upon external objects, on an other.” Poets Angel Dominguez + Joel Gregory combine their video work to form a synesthetic/semi-hallucinatory space that seeks to form a site of extended meditation beyond/before the scope of language. By juxtaposing audio/visuals/visions Dominguez and Gregory converge consciousness to present 'Mirror Stage.' An exploration of somatic body load that helps to visualize body environment as portrayed through the glitching of the present. The visuals are an attempt at embodying a sense of Autoscopy, exploring the term (and its concept) from an etymological level: “Autoscopy comes from the ancient Greek αὐτός ("self") and σκοπός ("watcher").” Primitive Autoscopy is an exploration of the relations between self and watcher, when both self and watcher are disembodied. Audio arrangement: Angel Dominguez (Angel Dominguez + ‎Ari Balouzian Sounds)
