“Today everything exists to end in a photograph.”― Susan Sontag
Do you know who I am is an ongoing project that focuses on the homogenization in Western culture, namely in the sphere of instagram / social media, and its immediacy, brought about by constantly and instantly taking smartphone pictures. Working with photography, video, internet generated texts and performances, Jessica Wolfelsperger examines social media’s potential in achieving ultimate freedom, allowing everyone to create content and take part in the flow of images.
