Nothing wrong with a few self-portraits. A culture obsessed with self-portraits however may push a once honest and engaging aesthetic into wince-inducing vulgarity & irritating narcissism.
Enter the Anti-Selfie. A tiny artistic protest against the overuse of the self-portrait or something even greater perhaps? An inadvertent homage to Magritte's surrealistic and prophetic genius? An aesthetic revolution of palimpsest-like proportions?
All of the above?
And although it's too soon to tell about its social and artistic ramifications-the *anti-selfie* surely deserves its place among the current social media oeuvre or at the very least, a gentle reminder of our growing self-obsession & lack of overall awareness concerning it.
