Through beauty and fashion story , « Self Mimetic » unfolds as a philosophical introspection on the perception and projection of our own image. What dialogue do we hold with the reflection we shape? Do we draw closer to ourselves when we mold our image, or do we drift further away from who we truly are?
Do we end up to be dissimilar to ourselves by dint of resembling ourselves or by resembling ourself by dint of be dissimilar to ourselves?
In resonance with its subject, the film explores, on a technical level, the many ways our image can be transformed: through clothing and makeup, of course, but also through on set optical filters, 2D vfx, 3D cgi , and AI vfx.
