Back Expanded Cinema 1: Guy Sherwin

Man With Mirror

Guy Sherwin UK, 1976/2026

Man With Mirror is Guy Sherwin's iconic expanded cinema performance in which the artist interacts live with a projected film of his on-screen image, using a hand-held mirror to redirect, reveal, and disrupt the image. The work creates a poetic dialogue between film and performance, past and present, memory and perception. 2026 marks th 50th anniversary of the performance. 

Guy Sherwin is a UK artist and filmmaker whose pioneering work in experimental cinema spans more than five decades, exploring the materiality of film, light, sound, time, and performance.
