Summary:

Mirror is a sweeping retrospective of Diana Michener's photography, encapsulating her ongoing journey in the medium across the decades. In three volumes and over 600 images newly scanned from Michener's archive, Mirror covers her work from 1975 to 2021 and includes many as yet unpublished images. Michener presents her œuvre in lyrical chapters, each exploring a specific theme and including portraits (of friends, strangers, herself), landscapes, still lifes (of Greco-Roman sculpture, mannequins, bones), visual diaries of her travels, and re-enactments of myths such as Narcissus and Leda and the Swan. Short personal texts by the photographer open each chapter, taking us through her memories and giving insight into the images we would otherwise miss.
