Mirror to Mirror is a documentation book that I created for Jeanette Fantone’s 2022 tattoo installation of the same name. Using Fantone’s research on Filipino and Japanese tattoos, her writings, and installation photography, I crafted a book that captures the intimacy of her installation and performance.
Japanese kozo (mulberry) paper envelops each signature and serves as chapter headers. The translucent nature of this paper not only allows Fantone’s art to shine through, but also mimics the feel of tattoo transfer paper.
The book follows the structure of the installation, starting with the artist statement, followed by Fantone’s research on her cultural tattoos, her art for the installation, and finally the documentation of the performance where Fantone tattooed herself.
