The image is part of a collection of works which we’re currently working on. Our project engages with the image of the ‘self’, acknowledging the author (and his/her presence) as part of the final output.

The ‘selfie-culture’ doesn’t seem out of place in today’s world, as anyone with digital means has the ability of curating their own image. The method of projecting one’s identity is used to distance from the subject (also the author) and construct a new identity. Therefore, by projecting onto another, the process of constructing self portraits becomes more relevant than the final result. – That is where the author’s identity is present (directly) within the work.

“…[if] I was an artist and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art. At this point art became more of an activity and less of a product.” (Bruce Nauman: “The True Artist”, 2014)
