The Last Myself
by The Last Myself is a project about the tautology of watching one’s own reflection in the mirror while saying one’s own name. It’s an exploration how your identity reveals itself through the echo of repetition. You are invited to repeat your name in front of the mirror while recording yourself with the camera, staying open to the revelations that will follow.
It might (but doesn’t have to) be something like the inner trip than Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Lèaud) is going through in the film, Stolen Kisses. In this scene, he performs a duel with himself confronting the limits of his own identity where the meaning dissapears.
The task appears to be simple, but it’s not.
