The work I'm presenting is part of a series of ''selfies'' that aim at subverting the real motive of a selfie which is to be seen, to appear and appeal with everything propped and controlled to be convincing in the 'spontaneous' result. My selfie-less serie is a collection of honest, simple moments of of intimacy for no one but oneself rather. The photos are all taken with a modest and inexpensive android phone cause i felt that a real, high-core camera would have taken away from my purpose here. My project is a commentary on the new addicitve and compulsory ways of communication, interaction, and--seduction. A commentary on the often crass, excessive need to '' commercialize'' even the deepest intimate moments of our lives and appear at all costs giving up often, the real image we have of our ourselves in that mirror that is our soul. My series aim at asking the question : why do we need to sell ourselves and why, but especially, who are we selling.

The piece i chose to present off my series here is a play on all of these things.

ps* thinking of the extent of which people can go to by taking a selfie with a celebrity resting in his coffin (The Maradona case)
