Acclaimed conceptual artist Ryan Gander delves into the phenomenon of the selfie, a symbol of a modern form of self-awareness that was virtually nonexistent a decade ago. He uncovers that the origins of the selfie can be traced back centuries, long before the advent of smartphones. In today’s social media-driven world, where we are encouraged to present our ideal selves and lead our most fulfilling lives, Gander explores the true implications of this and examines how technology is reshaping our self-perception.
