Trying to look like a building - selfie series (ongoing)


Trying to look like Guggenheim, 2015


Trying to look like a building
selfies, ongoing photo series


Ongoing photo project on social media (instagram and facebook), which consists of performative selfies in front of architectural landmarks. 

It all started with a selfie in front of Guggenheim in 2015, where I stated in a comment on instagram and facebook the remarkable resemblance of my expression with the building's design. One of the many commentators - the architect-artist Miriam Rohde - challenged me then with the New Museum. That's how the idea of a series had started. It didn’t stop yet. I might end up looking like a million cities.
 
Some photos of this series are featured in the book "Photogrpahy Perfroming Humor (Leuven University Press, 2019 - edited by Liesbeth Decan and Mieke Bleyen)
