Conversation with My Other Me is a photo art book by the Berlin-based Danish photographer René Riis (b. 1967) featuring a series of multi-photograph portraits. A unique cabinet of mirrors created specifically for this purpose captures one-of-a-kind portraits of various individuals: a mixture of prominent public figures, among them dancers, politicians, actors, and sports personalities, as well as unknowns with a charismatic presence. What makes these multi-photographs so extraordinary is that the person is portrayed from five different angles. In addition, in front of the mirrors, the subjects develop a personal and unique dynamic with themselves. It is, after all, a highly unusual experience to see oneself from so many different perspectives simultaneously. AUTHOR: Danish photographer René Riis has lived and worked in Berlin since 2010.
