A narrow fitting room surrounded by mirrors. The noise from the store filters in through a single curtain, a private space where I change clothes while gazing at the countless reflections of myself in the mirrors.
Extremely narrow space with a thin boundary of a curtain or door. Visual effects of mirrors. The tension from the staff possibly asking, 'Are you okay?'
VIP fitting room in a luxury store at Gangnam department store. Larger than regular fitting rooms, but still cramped if two people enter. Staff only comes upon request.
A fitting room less than one pyeong. Three-sided mirrors reflect every angle, and the ceiling halogen lights reveal even the skin texture. When two people move between the clothes on the hanger, their shoulders and elbows keep bumping. From outside the curtain, "Shall I bring a different size?"
The experience of standing in front of a full-length mirror and seeing yourself simultaneously from the front, left, and right. The gaze of the person standing behind meets in the mirror. Every moment of putting on and taking off clothes is captured in the mirror, and the gaze in the mirror is bolder than direct eye contact.
A 2cm gap where the fitting room curtain doesn't close perfectly. Through that gap, a single ray of the store's light seeps in, and when someone passes by outside, their shadow brushes over the curtain. Inside the curtain, one holds their breath, while outside, oblivious daily life flows on.
