#selfiextended

In the installation #selfiextended I addressed the selfie culture when Instagram was still a start-up. I suggested references between amateur photography and iconic artworks. My selection of imagery was spontaneous and highly personal, thus referring to practices in social networks. By exhibiting the chosen pictures in an open elevator shaft, I literally translated the digital consumption of images on the Internet into three-dimensional space. Similar to how one scrolls through a website, visitors quickly passed the images by. The speed created an abundance of stimuli, reminiscent of the accelerated pace of our present.
