In the nineteen fifties Jacques Lacan developed a device with a concave mirror and a plane mirror in order to discuss the nature of human identification and formulate ideas on how psychoanalysis, qua clinical practice, responds to identification. At the Department of Psychoanalysis of Ghent University we constructed Lacan’s double-mirror device, also called “the optical model of the ideals of the person”. This video shows how it works.
