In Narcissisms, Vesna Stefanovska explores the fragile boundary between the self and its image, between what we believe ourselves to be and what we perceive. The gaze becomes a space of tension: mirror, surface, projection. But what do we truly see when we look at ourselves? A presence? A construction? An illusion stabilized by habit?

Here, narcissism is not a retreat into the self, but a questioning of the gaze itself. The gaze that searches, that compares, that attempts to grasp an identity within an unstable flow. The image doubles, fragments, shifts. It eludes as much as it reveals.

In this space, identity is never fixed. It oscillates between affirmation and disappearance, between visibility and erasure. What once seemed familiar becomes strangely distant. What seemed stable becomes fluid.

Narcissisms thus opens a broader reflection: are we what we see of ourselves, or what others perceive? And what remains when the gaze turns away? In this game of reflections, Vesna Stefanovska offers no answers. She creates an experience — a fissure in which the viewer is invited to observe themselves observing.
