Abstract
This article aims at furthering our understanding of costuming in self-portraiture through the analysis of Janieta Eyre’s photographic works. Exploring the fictionalizing potentialities of photography and flouting the conventions of self-portraiture, the Canadian artist stages her multiple doubles in a playful yet introspective way. The studio becomes an experimental huis-clos harbouring fantasy self-explorations. The costumes that she assembles allow for complex dramatizations of the othered self. In these performative self-fictions the costume constitutes a prosthetic device. Her burlesque impersonations address gender identity in a subversive way. Judith Butler’s view of gender as stylized repetition of acts chimes in with Eyre’s use of seriality and endless mises-en-abyme, while Paul Gee’s definition of projective identity as a liminal form of identity—an interface between the real and the virtual self—and other researchers’ exploration of the avatar in game theory shed additional light on Eyre’s use of costuming.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
