It's no accident that the photograph and our external presence to the world are both known as image. We convey our own sense of self through what we perceive the rest of the world sees when they look at us. How we dress, how we wear our hair, and how we move through this world are all part of our image. This has got me thinking over the past few days about how much of my own identity has been taken from the outside world of advertising and popular culture, as well as those in my immediate vicinity and re-incorporated as my idea of self and image.
Over the next couple of weeks I am going to begin collecting images that refer to this and see what come of it.
