Celina Odeh’s Mirror Building is an interactive multi-media photography exhibition on
the observance of ritual manifestation as it relates to sight. By using mirrors as a matte
and framing device for portraits of body builders in moments of rest, Celina invites
viewership and highlights the emotion of comparisons silhouette: “Judgment”.
Body builders here are used to represent the discipline, proving a physique this extreme
can only be actualized through ritual and work. Nothing else can render these results.
Drawing from the competition element of body building, Celina aims to recreate the
same spectacle of self by positioning the viewer next to the image through the reflection
of the mirror, encouraging pervasive self communication.
In these pieces the subjects are posed in relaxed positions with gazes that extend
beyond frame as if looking at the mirror part of overall piece. The head and face are
facing away from camera to illustrate that in body building the face is the only thing you
cant change. Theatre lighting is brought into the home to replicate on stage competition
awareness.
Through this series Celina explores manifestation as a science of tomorrow and the
mirror as the manifestation of today, in other words, this could be you.
