Abstract

Looking down, shyly away from the camera, these portraits explore the visual contradictions between the introspective pose and the access to all kinds of possibilities through the cell phone. This work considers the shifts that occur as we engage with a networked world and exclude ourselves from the physical environment in which we are, spending time with those we want to rather than those around us, involved in communities that we select rather than those that we simply find ourselves in because of out physical location.
