The Death of Reflection

Muka Gallery, Auckland, New Zealand, 2000

Once upon a time there was a man.  To all outward appearance he was normal, successful, wealthy and almost happy.  But when he entered a bar he did so on the provision that the mirror above the bar be covered, he avoided lakes and even puddles, nor were there any mirrors in his house.

The man had made a pact with the devil.  In doing so he had lost his reflection.
