Private & public space

My research focuses on the individual marketing himself on the Facebook social network.
With the increasingly expansive development of social networks, we have seen some significant changes in human behaviour. Revealing one's private life on the Internet is a form of behaviour that used to be confined to public figures and celebrities.
Now, thanks to the biggest hypermedia, the World Wide Web, everyone has the opportunity to become a public figure. They can build a reputation for themselves, even if it's limited to the Internet.

The photos spinning in the cylinder are images that have become commonplace on Facebook.
Using Photoshop, any identity that may have appeared in the photos is removed: either by deleting it or applying effects to it.
This action demonstrates the individual's desire to impose his or her presence on the landscape.
Added to this are comments, often in the form of statuses in which the character shares elements of their life. To satisfy the desire for prominence in the eyes of friends and family, or even strangers, they use these multimedia and information tools. He expects his shares to be accompanied by as many ‘Likes’ as possible.

The sound consists of simple whispers that are superimposed. They represent the voyeur behind the screen sharing his critical opinions. With social networks, we form an image, an opinion, of the person with the information they provide. Often this identity doesn't change and the discussions go on ad infinitum.
