<\/a>Fear of Mirrors<\/strong>, de Alba Zari<\/strong>, \u00e9 uma investiga\u00e7\u00e3o sobre a autorrepresenta\u00e7\u00e3o na era digital. Do espelho ao ecr\u00e3, o projeto explora como a revolu\u00e7\u00e3o digital transformou a forma como comunicamos connosco pr\u00f3prios, colocando a imagem feminina no centro e examinando os condicionamentos sociais que a moldam.

Atrav\u00e9s de uma mistura de fotografia, investiga\u00e7\u00e3o e experimenta\u00e7\u00e3o, Zari analisa as din\u00e2micas patriarcais que influenciam a autorrepresenta\u00e7\u00e3o, questionando se as novas tecnologias libertaram verdadeiramente a identidade feminina ou apenas redefiniram antigas limita\u00e7\u00f5es em novas formas. A artista brinca com os meios, experimenta sobre si pr\u00f3pria e exp\u00f5e os mecanismos da web, confrontando plataformas e algoritmos que perpetuam padr\u00f5es est\u00e9ticos homogeneizantes.

Em Fear of Mirrors<\/strong>, Zari n\u00e3o pretende fornecer solu\u00e7\u00f5es ou respostas, mas convida o espectador a uma reflex\u00e3o aberta sobre a sociedade contempor\u00e2nea, onde uma pergunta paira no vazio digital de onde emerge o projeto: ter\u00e1 o espelho finalmente estilha\u00e7ado, ou ainda somos prisioneiros do seu reflexo?

Fear of Mirrors by Alba Zari is an investigation into self-representation in the digital age. From the mirror to the screen, the project explores how the digital revolution has transformed the way we communicate with ourselves, placing the female image at the center and examining the social conditioning that shapes it.
Through a blend of photography, research, and experimentation, Zari analyzes the patriarchal dynamics that influence self-representation, questioning whether new technologies have truly liberated female identity or merely redefined old constraints in new forms.
The artist plays with the media, experiments on herself, and exposes the mechanisms of the web, confronting platforms and algorithms that perpetuate homogenizing aesthetic standards.
In Fear of Mirrors, Zari does not aim to provide solutions or answers but instead invites the viewer into an open reflection on contemporary society, where one question lingers in the digital void from which the project emerges: has the mirror finally shattered, or are we still prisoners of its reflection?
