IDENTITY GLITCH
or self-image-error.GIF
In a reality oversaturated with meaningless photographs and selfies, it was of my personal interest and importance to question my own self image.
While I rarely use myself as a subject and visual in my art, the temptation to distort my own portrait was unbeatable.
Best photo for this, I thought, was my official passport photo - the one image where you must be the true likeness of your‘real’self, a basic scan of ‘identity’.
This experiment became a modest research of the potential bias and glitches we might often carry as part of our identity package. Resulting in multiple personas, each with their representative faces, expressions and mash of broken identities.
The origial image has gone through a variaty of distortions and then distortions of those distortions (and so on) in an attempt to reach more depth within the process of errors and levels of gradual decline into disorter.
