“The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror,” observed filmmaker Agnès Varda. “Turn
it the other way, and you see the world.” MacGuffin Nº16 does exactly that, exploring
a world of seasonal darkness and manipulated sunshine, facial recognition and fit
checks, beaded bridesmaids and street dance crews, Claude glasses and mirror

Featuring photographer Shahram Saadat, novelist Peter Delpeut, design educator
Ghalia Elsrakbi, fashion researcher Aude Fellay, chemist-turned-curator Fulvio
Ferrari, architect Sam Jacob, designer Sabine Marcelis, visual artist Iriée Zamblé,
writer Kandace Siobhan Walker and many more.
MacGuffin is a new and unusual design & crafts magazine. It features fabulous stories about the life of ordinary, often anonymously designed things. Each biannual edition takes an object and explores the manifold stories it generates.
