Mirror, the household attribute which is present in any house, has ceased to be considered as an object of purely utilitarian value that manages to accumulate a multitude of meanings in the cultural-historical plan. Thanks to various semantic charges the topos of the mirror has undergone profound perceptive changes over time. Being firstly considered a practical object, it has gradually become a form of knowledge, integrating itself, consequently, into science, art and culture. The well-known Russian philologist and philosopher, Mikhail Bahtin, was one of the first people who revealed the mirror function as an instrument of (self) knowledge, referring to Dostoevsky's artistic work. According to his conception, the mirror is a kind of mediator of the relationship between I and the Other/Others, due to its reflective capacity. When mirroring/ reflecting the human being sees himself as another and looks with/ through the eyes of the other.  Man's relationship with the mirror was also debated by psychoanalysis of the 20th century. Jacques Lacan, a French psychoanalyst, launches the concept of the mirror stage into the scientific circuit, defining it as the moment when the human-child becomes aware that he sees himself in the mirror and recognizes himself, fact which occurs between the period of 18-24 months. According to J. Lacan, the observation of one’s own image in the mirror is the first self-awareness of his own self, his first self-identification. Lacan considers this stage of the mirror the starting point of human psychic life, the beginning of the structuring of his own.
