The Mirror Blinked is a collaborative body of work produced by artists Henry Gepfer and K. MacNeil. Both artists work at the intersection of print media and performance art as a means to explore interpersonal communication, miscommunication, and the intersubjectivity of relationships.

The Mirror Blinked documents an abstract performance between the artists, in which they stand on opposite sides of a hanging sheet of acrylic thickly coated in ink. As they use their hands and bodies to remove the ink, they endeavor to find, track, and mirror each other鈥檚 movements. In trying to connect, missing, and connecting again, this performance illustrates the dance of attempting to find each other through an opaque medium and the struggle to maintain connection.

The resulting prints represent a push and pull鈥攐f losing and finding鈥攂etween two people having a conversation through a visual, performative language. Intertwining performance, animation, and monotype prints, The Mirror Blinked examines moments of symmetry, synchronicity, and communicative lapses between two people.

This work also serves as a reflection of the collaboration between the artists. Working together as friends with similar approaches, Gepfer and MacNeil explore the nature of their identities and 鈥渢he face of the other鈥� throughout this exhibition. The resulting uncanny impressions serve as a map of two artists working with鈥攁nd literally against鈥攅ach other.
