# Reflective Street Artists Mirror Man Brings Michael Jackson's Classic To Life By Ryan Hinkson | Published 2010-04-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-man References: [designyoutrust](http://designyoutrust.com/2010/04/12/the-mirror-man-of-los-angeles/) & [theblogismine](http://www.theblogismine.com/2010/04/12/the-mirror-man-of-los-angeles/) The Mirror Man of Los Angeles is really a sight to be seen. I’ve seen dancing [street performers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith) spray painted in [silver or gold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection) before, but I’ve never seen one covered completely in [glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection). The Mirror Man instantly channels thoughts of Michael Jackson’s classic song ‘Man In The Mirror.' Especially since he sports MJ’s trademark fedora. I can only imagine how captivating seeing him in person must be--especially on a bright and sunny day--watching him move, while looking at yourself in the reflection as the light from the sun bounces off of him. Now that’s definitely worth a dollar in the hat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Reflective Street Performers:** Opportunity for street performers to incorporate reflective elements into their acts, creating visually captivating experiences. - **Visual Spectacles:** Potential for artists to create visually stunning performances that utilize reflective materials, capturing the attention of passersby. - **Immersive Street Art:** Emerging trend of interactive street art experiences that engage viewers through reflection and self-reflection. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for entertainment companies to create immersive experiences with reflective street performers. - **Tourism:** Opportunity for tourism industry to promote cities and destinations known for their vibrant street art and reflective street performers. - **Art and Design:** Potential for artists and designers to explore new methods and materials for creating reflective street art installations and performances. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Music Device-Inspired Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drought.md) - [Limited Reflective Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabi-broken-mirror.md) - [Colorful Retro Pixel Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-mirror.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md) - [Reflective Material Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue.md) - [Nostalgic Music-Inspired Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imirror.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Sculpturally Artistic Copper Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manu-bano-obj08-mirrors.md)
