Mirror and Mask

In A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, Édouard Manet offers a poignant reflection on modern life. This slow art video lingers on the quiet figure behind the bar, her expression unreadable, her world doubled in glass. Bottles gleam, a crowd blurs, and the spectacle of Parisian nightlife is rendered with startling clarity and subtle disquiet. Let each surface and gaze unfold, revealing layers of performance, presence, and isolation. This work can be seen at [The Courtauld UK,https://courtauld.ac.uk/highlights/a-bar-at-the-folies-bergere/]
