Beyond the Mirror’s Gaze

In this utterly endearing animation by Iris Moore, a couple gets to know themselves and each other by exchanging their eyes, genitalia and facial features with different ones. The exchange of body parts (with the biology and playfulness of Potatohead toys) for the sole sake of new corporeal experiences, has us question our own preconceptions about the body’s rigid immutability. — Mix New York Queer Experimental Film Festival (2013)
