I have always been fascinated by reflections: images in mirrors, on water, on shiny metallic surfaces, even in the iris of the eye.
Looking through my archives I discovered a vast collection of photographs of women in mirrors: A sort of unconscious research about the woman who studies herself, falls in love, and gets lost in her own image.
Literature from all times and nations is filled with stories in which the mirror and the reflections of images play a leading role.
Many Eastern traditions consider the mirror as an instrument of knowledge and enlightening.
In China it symbolized femininity and the moon and it was once the emblem of the queen.
In the Japanese culture it symbolizes the revelation of truth, purity and the Sun Goddess Amaterasu-Omi-Kami.

Résumé
When we look in a mirror, we consider who we are, and who we want to be. These female nudes from the master of erotic photography challenge our perception of what is real and what is not. Argentini skillfully plays with mirrors to achieve unusual perspectives. The resulting images combine come-hither sensuality with sophisticated distance. With all this posturing and role-play, who knows what will happen next? Decide for yourself who is the fairest of them all.
