Classical Portrait (of the 21c)
This wall installation plays on the classic silhouette that became popular in Europe in the 18th century. Instead of the beloved person the female facebook avatar looks back at the viewer. The image is composed of standard phrases describing common actions on the social media platform. The direct face-off with the life-size silhouette animates a personal reflexion on the activities on the network.
