body mirroring

Mirroring is the behavior in which one person unconsciously imitates the gesture, speech pattern, or attitude of another. Mirroring often occurs in social situations, particularly in the company of close friends or family. The concept often affects other individuals' notions about the individual that is exhibiting mirroring behaviors, which can lead to the individual building rapport with others. With this mapping we try to collect evidence of the way this mirroring affects our lives and that it happens more than we think. We do this by searching through our own archives, the internet and collecting photos and information of other people.
