Mirror, Mirror: Contemporary Portraits and the Fugitive Self to prezentacja prac współczesnych artystów z całego świata. Ich cechą wspólną jest badanie / szukanie czynników, które mają wpływ na to, jak my sami siebie widzimy, jak chcemy by nas widzieli inni i jak się w takim kreujemy a także - idąc dalej - jak się to przejawia w sposobach portretowania.
Na wystawie widoczne trzy główne zakresy tematyczne charakterystyczne: rytuały; lustra i maski; ja prawdziwe.
Rówoczesnym zamiarem twórców ekspozycji było pokazanie wpływu nowych możliwości technologicznych na tradycyjne formy portretowania. Na wystawę składają się prace z różnych dziedzin: fotografia, video art, rzeźba multimedialna, malarstwo, instalacje.

In the Birgham Young University, Museum of Art, Provo / Utah you can see an exhibition Mirror Mirror: Contemporary Portraits and the Fugitive Self. The serier Rites of Passage of Przemysław Pokrycki is a part of this big collective exhibition.

The creators of the exhibition about it:
Mirror Mirror: Contemporary Portraits and the Fugitive Self will feature works of art from a broad range of international contemporary artists who are engaged in the examination of the factors that shape the ways in which we view ourselves, and how we choose to present ourselves to others. The exhibition will look at three different themes evident in the work of these artists that contribute to the formation of our individual identities: rituals; facades, mirrors, and masks; and the real self.

This exhibition also will explore the impact of new technological media on the traditional art form of portraiture. A significant number of works in the exhibition will thoughtfully analyze the ways in which social networking Web sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Flickr, and the increasing functionality of cell phones, including capturing and sending images and video, prompt new explorations of identity.

Additionally, visitors to Mirror Mirror will see cutting-edge contemporary works of art in a variety of media including installation art, painting, multi-media sculpture, and video art. The interplay among the diverse perspectives of the artists represented in this exhibition reveals individual differences and shared commonalities in a global community.
