We live in a time of endless reflection. One body, many selves, physical and digital, authentic and fabricated, curated and corrupted, fractured across timelines, networks and platforms. The notion of the doppelgänger has haunted human consciousness for centuries, surfacing in ancient myth, in psychoanalysis, in cinema, and now in the very devices we keep in our pockets. Today, it is not merely a spectral figure or literary trope; it is a login, a bot, a dataset. A silent algorithmic mirror that watches, predicts and sometimes betrays.  The Doppelgänger exhibition, curated by Yev Kravt,  brings together 13 digital artists, designers and architects whose practices engage with mirroring and multiplicity. Some approach these themes philosophically, others through a social lens. Some address it  performatively, with an air of deliberate deceit. All of those featured here work on the same unsettling question: In a world where everything can be copied, what remains that is still real?
