The Mysterious “Mirror Man” appears in L.A.

mirrorman_05

When I first looked at the photos, I thought the “mirror man” was a sculpture. But I found this information from a photographer nicknamed SilverSky who took the pictures, he states “I was in LA and this guy shows up in a suit from head to toe made of glass. I thought it was pretty cool.”

Great Idea! As a matter of fact it’s genius, inspired!

Mirror, mirror on the Wall… Street.
on Apr 14, 2010 at 7:27 pm 3 Smileyfreak

Cool pictures!
on Apr 14, 2010 at 7:56 pm 4 Pedro

Holy crap, his suit is freakin’ laser-proof!
on Apr 14, 2010 at 9:30 pm 5 leap

Wow! How did he keep from frying in there? Whew. Don’t think I coulda done it. lol
on Apr 15, 2010 at 2:14 am 6 Mike J

I’m looking at the man in the mirror.
on Apr 15, 2010 at 2:32 am 7 Steve

That dude is a straight up supervillan.
on Apr 15, 2010 at 8:39 am 8 nobody

That’s a comic book villain waiting to happen if i ever saw one.
on Apr 15, 2010 at 12:27 pm 9 Jay

I’d hate to run into this guy in a bright shiny alley…
on Apr 15, 2010 at 1:52 pm 10 Underwired

First it was the Silver man, then the Gold man..I’ve got a strange feeling this guy is the same guy. If you live in LA, you know what I’m talking about. ..he’s not as lumpy as I remember him to be though..eh.
on Apr 15, 2010 at 2:54 pm 11 MESH

He doesn’t “Fry” in there because it reflects light not absorb…. duh…
on Apr 15, 2010 at 5:06 pm 12 todd

Haha, he’s like a human disco ball!
on Apr 15, 2010 at 10:26 pm 13 ALlan

Wow what an amazing suite. Cool man!
on Apr 16, 2010 at 1:32 am 14 peanut

Tru dat man, super villain! He cud take spider man out!
on Apr 16, 2010 at 1:33 am 15 peanut

I tell u what tho… how many years bad luck wud he get if he fell over! haha
on Apr 16, 2010 at 2:20 am 16 mumbojimbo

Reminds me of a song (Human League, I think). “Here Comes The Mirror Man”.
on Apr 16, 2010 at 4:46 am 17 phipie

[This is Good]
on Apr 17, 2010 at 8:35 pm 18 Katherine

Epic shit.
On a plate.
But what if he fell over?
That would suck.
on Apr 18, 2010 at 4:24 am 19 Wolfie Rankin

“Here comes the mirror man, says he’s a people fan” – Human League.

Wolfie!
on Apr 19, 2010 at 3:22 am 20 ylin

That last picture does make him look like a comic book villain! Awesome!
on Apr 19, 2010 at 6:27 pm 21 WIZ

Now there’s a sharp dressed man
on Apr 19, 2010 at 7:01 pm 22 Jack Swift

From the song “Man in the Suit of Mirrors”

Tell your mother to take you back home.
Tell your mother my fears.
Tell your mother to take you back home
and be afraid of the man in the suit of mirrors.

Can be herd here
on Apr 19, 2010 at 9:14 pm 23 249 Designs

Looks scary. What if he falls.. Or, if I push him down.. :0)
on Apr 20, 2010 at 2:28 am 24 Logan fan

Logan’s run did this over 20 years ago – still looks cool though
on Apr 20, 2010 at 5:04 am 25 monkeytrap

I bet he can make the sun shine out his ass!
on Apr 20, 2010 at 11:52 am 26 konstnaerlig

In some way he’s scaring me. I don’t know why…
on Apr 20, 2010 at 1:46 pm 27 Rown

Nice suite.
on Apr 20, 2010 at 4:42 pm 28 Jocelyn

Very cool, reminds me of one of Nikki de Saint Phalle’s glass sculptures!
on Apr 20, 2010 at 5:04 pm 29 Kelsi

When I walk over by it, I think that guy has a pretty darn attractive suit. J/k

But it would be really handy to check your hair in…
on Apr 20, 2010 at 6:18 pm 30 Soozcat

If this guy were a supervillain, his name would totally have to be Disco Brawl.
on Apr 21, 2010 at 1:24 am 31 rove

Freak!
on Apr 21, 2010 at 4:02 am 32 Sid

Dude, this reminds me of Hot Fuzz! Anyone else?
on Apr 21, 2010 at 6:43 am 33 Matt

I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that this man is in front of the “Griffin” observatory. In H.G. Wells novel, The Invisible Man, the main character, Griffin, discovers a way to make himself invisible and then does so and causes chaos in the city.
on Apr 21, 2010 at 9:12 am 34 Dylan

He looks like a Pink Floyd album cover!
So epically cool
on Apr 21, 2010 at 12:05 pm 35 Adriana

Yes, I think there may be a connection to the observatory.
on Apr 21, 2010 at 5:04 pm 36 geegers

Someone needs to commission that dude to write a superhero/villian story. Its classic.

I would very much like to see a duel with a mirror man. Or someone needs to commission him to make a music video…
Mirrors, music and rock video lighting = solid gold!
on Apr 21, 2010 at 5:28 pm 37 ssno

I always wondered if a mirror suit would protect against cancerous uv. Anyone think that’s possible?
on Apr 21, 2010 at 5:37 pm 38 JO Dean

Wow thats pretty funny stuff dude. Seriously.

LOu
on Apr 22, 2010 at 1:09 am 39 vicarious1

Someone to give “Swarovski” crystals a run for their money.
Bravo for the creativity imagine the weight.
on Apr 22, 2010 at 2:47 am 40 dreamon51

I’m thinking, bizarro Clark Kent… Shiny!
on Apr 22, 2010 at 4:06 am 41 JoyfullyContent

These pictures are great. He looks like a real live supervillian walking around. I would hate to fall over wear that suit though. Hope he walks carefully.
on Apr 22, 2010 at 4:45 am 42 Nadd

I thought it was the man in the mirror, I mean,, MJ…
on Apr 22, 2010 at 4:50 am 43 wondering

hmm.. Michael Jackson (man in the mirror?)
on Apr 22, 2010 at 5:21 am 44 Me

It’s like Man in the mirror
on Apr 22, 2010 at 5:38 am 45 Tobi

He reminds me of Michael Jackson, “The Man in the Mirror.”
on Apr 22, 2010 at 6:57 am 46 Stephen Leitch

I think this is the man who started the riot there later that day. He apologized after he had time to sit down and reflect…
on Apr 22, 2010 at 7:41 am 47 Trevor

To Matt (#33) Actually, that is the “Griffith Observatory,” not the Griffin Observatory. The suit is a great concept, though!
on Apr 22, 2010 at 12:37 pm 48 grind_

Storm Torgenson feelings ?

For those who do not know who the Storm Torgenson remember the best album covers of Pink Floyd!
on Apr 22, 2010 at 2:11 pm 49 MJ

MJ!!!!!!
on Apr 22, 2010 at 2:24 pm 50 sonia

Ciao uno Tutti fossato michael Che ne dite Magari mamma mia ne sarei Felicissima ti prego mike se sei tu torna da Noi ciao da Sonia
on Apr 22, 2010 at 6:26 pm 51 Devin

Really interesting and inspiring. I would love to know how he puts that glass suit on.
on Apr 22, 2010 at 11:18 pm 52 Terry Butler

Call him Reflecto…
on Apr 23, 2010 at 1:22 am 53 Talulu

Is that Michael Jackson in a disguise
on Apr 23, 2010 at 1:58 am 54 MJtheKing

That is SOOOO Michael Jackson. The man in the mirror. He is starting with himself and wants us to look in the mirror as well. He is such a genius!
on Apr 23, 2010 at 8:10 pm 55 sonia

Ciao ragazzi voi che dite che è mike?
Sarebbe davvero bellissimo magari fosse vero ciao da Sonia.

(Google Translate: Hello guys that say it’s Mike? I wish it were true, it would be really beautiful. -Sonia)
on Apr 24, 2010 at 1:46 am 56 swine

He must really funky-down at the disco.
Everybody probably takes a real shine to him
on Apr 24, 2010 at 12:45 pm 57 Catra

The really cool part is the shapes of the reflections cast on the concrete below him. No simple shadows for this guy!
on Apr 24, 2010 at 9:56 pm 58 Laurie

I knew how soon as I saw this picture I knew everyone would think Mj right away. Everyone is still using everything they see, read, hear as clues. To me its simple, someone wanting us to think so.
on Apr 26, 2010 at 9:28 am 59 Chuck

I wonder how many bandages this guy uses in a day of wearing the suit of shine?
on Apr 26, 2010 at 11:41 pm 60 Tropixel

Very cool. Imagine him busting a few moves to MJs “smooth criminal” !!!
on Apr 27, 2010 at 10:26 am 61 Zephyr

Now if THIS doesn’t ‘compel’ us to look at the “Man in the mirror”, I don’t know what could!!!

Tee-hee-hee
on Apr 28, 2010 at 11:37 pm 62 Jude Ogunade

That man must be well read! He’s trying to tell all of us that we are all a reflection of his; which is true anyway because every one affects every one in whatever little way it may seem. May we all see ourselves in another’s and so think about our ways.
on Apr 30, 2010 at 2:07 pm 63 Mark

Really cool…
on May 01, 2010 at 6:02 pm 64 John C.

He would be a great villain for the sequel to the movie Unbreakable with Bruce Willis.
on May 02, 2010 at 4:53 am 65 Nadd

Maybe it’s really Michael Jackson in disguise…
on May 03, 2010 at 6:52 am 66 corolledoll

I want to meet this guy. and then trip him on the concrete.
on May 04, 2010 at 12:44 pm 67 Iriana

That’s great! & so he’s a mystery man…
on May 07, 2010 at 4:54 pm 68 Tom

Mirror man ain’t no mere man.
on May 12, 2010 at 3:26 am 69 suzycoe

aaAAAwwwWWWeeeEEEsssSSSSooooOOmmmMMMeeeEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
on May 12, 2010 at 10:42 am 70 Maddin

Heh.. MJ:
I’m starting with the man IN the mirror ;P
on May 12, 2010 at 7:19 pm 71 Anthony Pittarelli

Looks like something out of logan’s run, but more awesome.

Anthony Pittarelli
on May 13, 2010 at 7:11 am 72 dude

Is that a mirror in your pocket?
on May 13, 2010 at 12:45 pm 73 Millenion

Sweet, I wish I can go to the clubs with that suit on.
on May 13, 2010 at 8:11 pm 74 JillyAnne

Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s top tranny of them all? Johnny johnny johnny boy!
on May 14, 2010 at 11:22 am 75 Boldis Media

He is like silver surfer.
on May 16, 2010 at 8:21 pm 76 Mrs Ferez

I was trying to figure out how he actually moves.
on May 17, 2010 at 2:03 am 77 Wozza

Box….Booox, Box

Surely i’m not the only one that sees it!
on May 19, 2010 at 8:56 pm 78 Damian

It’s “Griffith” Observatory, not “Griffin”,
kids.
on May 19, 2010 at 9:43 pm 79 Thomasstar2

Artistic work… good to see…
on May 20, 2010 at 5:16 pm 80 Teresa

A colorful sunset set this guy on fire!
on May 20, 2010 at 10:39 pm 81 Michael Dunker

Great idea. Keep on reflecting…
on May 21, 2010 at 7:47 pm 82 ayahya

Great collection photos. Perfectly art shot.
on May 21, 2010 at 10:07 pm 83 riddickuliss

I think the head/hat substrate are from a freddy krueger halloween mask, this might attribute to the villain vibe a bit.
on May 22, 2010 at 3:05 am 84 Ro. Duarte

There is a song called Human Disco Ball from a group called Plastilina Mosh. I’d share the lyrics but they’re in Spanish. The only English line is “Human Disco Ball.”
on May 29, 2010 at 6:55 pm 85 fcowen1

I’ve never seen anything like this before! Just when you think you’ve seen it all.
on May 30, 2010 at 10:36 pm 86 sir jorge

Man, I used to live in Los Angeles and nothing ever cool happened like mirror man showing up.
on Jun 01, 2010 at 3:47 am 87 anvarri

This is just really cool! Great concept!!
on Jun 11, 2010 at 8:59 am 88 hz

How does he move, bending his shoes/clothing, without the pieces of glass shelling, cracking and/or shattering each other? Would it be possible to protect every edge and corner with clear lacquer? Or silicon-based coating?
on Jun 11, 2010 at 6:14 pm 89 diestormlie

I’m looking at the man in the mirrior suit,
I’m trying to mend his supervillian ways…
on Jun 11, 2010 at 7:37 pm 90 Daniel

I don’t like Mirror Man, when I see him I see too much of myself!
on Jun 12, 2010 at 2:53 am 91 Kevin B

Some people really know how to shine.
on Jun 17, 2010 at 12:52 am 92 James Balmer

Just look at your self.
on Jun 17, 2010 at 12:16 pm 93 arabia

Man in the mirror, Michael Jackson sooon
on Jun 17, 2010 at 5:32 pm 94 Wookiepooky

IN THE FUTURE, I PREDICT -
Everybody’s going to have and wear the mass-produced version. Nanotech will allow us to deposit durable nanoscopic mirrors on clothing. Still the law will be that you can’t wear a mask to disguise yourself in public. Praise Zeus!
on Jun 17, 2010 at 6:11 pm 95 VectorMan

He is a MirrorMan! Its really cool special wear for clubs:)
on Jun 22, 2010 at 4:46 am 96 sebastien wilcox

This guy is surely a hit at coke parties.
on Jun 24, 2010 at 8:21 pm 97 frank ardito

Sebastien Wilcox, well played. that made me lol.
on Jul 03, 2010 at 9:47 pm 98 Danny

I bet he spends a lot of time just reflecting…or refracting…
on Jul 04, 2010 at 9:53 pm 99 Rosochka Crotton

Nice mirrorman, brightness and sunny guaranteed.
on Jul 08, 2010 at 2:09 am 100 dr. pepper

What would happen if he fell over?? Like… seriously, that’d be quiet a bit of bad luck, haha.
on Jul 31, 2010 at 3:47 pm 101 Crosta Chicken

I wouldn’t shake his hand…
on Aug 08, 2010 at 3:09 am 102 Demi Pietchell

How did I possibly miss this guy? Amazing! Thanks for posting your photos!
on Aug 13, 2010 at 10:37 am 103 wildleo

ITS GREAT…!
on Aug 16, 2010 at 11:23 am 104 ayoub

Wow, he looks cool and I love him. How amazing that he has covered his body with mirrors, and it is a very difficult job to do. Really interesting!
on Aug 18, 2010 at 2:20 pm 105 mimmopietro

It could be an effectiveness mimetic overall, even with material reflecting not of glass. In a wood in a forest nobody could see you.
ciaooo
on Aug 18, 2010 at 10:41 pm 106 Regg

The Mirrorball Man. Great concept. I love it. See yourself by looking at someone else.
on Aug 31, 2010 at 5:43 pm 107 echostains

Captain Beefheart wrote about him in the 60s and now – here he is! (wonder where his mirror maid is though?)
on Sep 05, 2010 at 2:37 am 108 therese

How many years bad luck would the poor guy have if he fell over!!?? LOL
