Banality is overrated

Carla Gannis and curator Tina Sauerländer invited me, together with sixty other artists, to make an animated GIF Selfie-Self Portrait for her solo show A Subject Self-Defined at TRANSFER Gallery in New York. The theme was contemporary selfie culture and self-display.

My answer: a set of self portraits taken in a public toilet, buried under a thick layer of Instagram filters, all merged into a single animated GIF. The most banal place, the most banal gesture, looped forever.

READ ME BY EMAIL

An email that arrives now and then, from a server out in the bushes. Works, shows, texts, and whatever the feed has no room for. Mostly in Italian. If it doesn't arrive, blame me. No spam. I haven't got enough material even for that.

Fatto. Ti abbiamo mandato un link magico via email: apri la casella e clicca per completare l’iscrizione.
