Lost in a dark fairy tale forest, Mimi picks up a magical mirror and sings to her reflection: ‘mirror, mirror in my hand, who’s the cutest in the land?’. She is delighted to discover that 'it's mi'. However, it's not long before doubt creeps in, as her youthful appearance shows signs of ageing and a mysterious presence competes for her coveted status. UPSIDE MIMI IWIW NMO looks light and playful on the surface, but becomes dark and unnerving once you get beyond the glossy veneer.
