Part of the mirrored back wall of our local wetherspoons does this. I look like I look in the mirror, though it's a very disconcerting to look at. Any movement to the left or right goes the wrong way in this mirror, and the feedback loop you unconciously use to centre yourself goes all to fuck.

I love that image dhruva. And the Fontcuberta show is great fun. I wonder where this "Valhamonde" photo was really shot.

Most people think a mirror reverses left and right, but that doesn't make sense, since up and down is in the same plane, and not reversed. Mirrors actually reverse front and back. True Mirror reverses front and back and left and right to make it look like it hasn't reversed front and back. That ain't what I'd call the truth.
