Self-Aware Selfies

We’re the selfie generation. It’s as undeniable as the nose on our faces, which we know how to minimise with the perfect selfie angle with our phones mounted on our selfie sticks. But is it all just narcissism and vanity, or is there more value to the selfie? Examining the artistic and philosophical value of the selfie is Sharmin Parameswaran, curator of Persona, an exhibition that is based on artists taking self-portraits. All this, based on Casey N. Cep’s In Praise of Selfies, published on PSMag.com.
