NARCISSISM – THE AUTO-EROTIC IMAGES, by Toni Karat, features thirty-three border-crossers of all kinds discussing their intimate reflections, along with accompanying photo shoots and interviews exploring themes of gender, narcissism, and self-love.

How do we look in the mirror?
Do we allow ourselves a narcissistic or even covetous view?
How is our view influenced by gender and socialization?
Are we able to love ourselves and our reflection?
Why do lesbians often have an especially difficult relationship with narcissism?
