  2. Art 21 : Alter Ego saves the day Have you ever fantasized that you were psychic, a fictional character, or somebody from the past? Artists often take on different personalities in their work, muddying their own identity with that of someone else or with someone or something they've completely made up. The notion of the alter-ego bears an undeniable appeal: being in two places at once, occupying the body of the opposite sex, transforming into a better or braver self able to perform miraculous feats. From the aging portrait of Oscar Wilde's character Dorian Gray to Clark Kent’s swift phone-booth transformation, the alter-ego has functioned as a literary devise to manifest our deepest desires and compensate for our human limitations.
