Self Portrait in Cling film (Life mask), 2013

Self Portrait in Clingfilm (life mask), 2013 is the documentation of a performance: the creation of a self-portrait in cling film and soap. The work is an exploration of self on a domestic scale. The photographs are a creation of a life mask in reference to the obligatory Selfie that pervades online representations that at once purporting to be a ‘true’ image, an indexical imprint but also a surface, a façade designed to present oneself from a flattering viewpoint.
