Self-Voyeur (2018)
-
A behind the scenes look at an Instagram personality
-
Self-voyeurism:  the viewer is both observer and object of the observer
-
We are transitioning from watching and looking at images of others 
to looking at images of ourselves, and Instagram is a contributing factor. 
As am I.
-
The Instagrammers with the most followers 
tend to post highly curated images of self within highly curated feeds. 
How many selfies does it take to get the one that I want you to see?
-
In this installation, I am inviting you to immerse yourself in an image 
(in the form of a mise-en-scène)
that reflects a more complete picture of who I am. 
Everything on the walls is very private and personal, 
holds memory and meaning, is autobiographical 
and are parts of me I would never share on Instagram.
-
I am inviting you to be the voyeur of the self-voyeur in action
-
Event photographer Mido Lee of Mido Lee Productions, 
captures the essence of intimacy, staging, 
and absorption in the production of self image
 that I wanted to convey.
