Mirror Into Auntieverse is an interactive installation that reframes photography as a live negotiation between body, machine and cultural memory. First presented at Paris Photo 2025, the work embeds motion capture and real time rendering within a nineteenth century Napoleon III mirror frame. When visitors approach, their reflections are replaced by animated aunties from the Auntieverse, niceaunties’ ongoing AI driven world building project that repositions the Asian auntie archetype as protagonist rather than stereotype.

The interactive mirror installation has been produced in collaboration with Load Gallery.
