The selfie is an international phenomena and this portfolio by artists Luisa Dörr (1988, Brazil) and Navin Kala (1980, India), shows the other side camera as people contort themselves to get the best shot. Called The Self Promenade it focuses on the avenue of the stars in Hong Kong, and observing the peculiar habits of tourists from mainland China. The artists call these acts an “abusing of selfies” as though they are an addiction driving the tourists to recored every single action and experience. To them the imposition of the self into the photo becomes a way of “conquering this new world with the “I was there” attitude.”
