ABOUT THE ARTWORK

When over 1 million selfies are taken and shared online each day, social media reveals itself as a widely used tool of identity construction, particularly for young people whose fixation with this form means that selfies make up a third of all photos taken by 18-24 year olds. 36% admit to altering their selfies and 13% of women report that they retouch every photo they take of themselves. As such a pervasive phenomenon, the artworks in this series explore selfie culture in the context of mass behaviour (cue the hint of religious architecture), the spread of ideas (cue the neural imagery and connections between neurons), the editing/filtering processes used to present an ideal, and the formation of societal norms. For this particular piece, I've looked at the process of cell division and renewal in microbiology known as mitosis. The cells divide to create replicas of themselves, a process which I've linked to the spread of mass behaviour and the formation of selfie culture.
