The Mechanical Mirror project began as a experimental project to capture the complexity of queer relationship into an art piece of love and admiration. Grown through the exquisite Chicago experimental DIY performance art scene, the project is now a vocation. The Mechanical Mirror has become a feature of the Andersonville neighborhood, an activation at fundraisers and a treat at weddings. Hundreds of people have found themselves reflected, soul and body alike, by A. Poeht's Mechanical Mirror.
