My selfie is inspired by one of Amy Sherald’s art pieces, and portrays myself staring into the camera in a confident pose, like that of the people Amy Sherald portrays in her paintings.
“The specialization of images of the world is completed in the world of the autonomous image, where the liar has lied to himself.”
A large portion of the world is made up of falsities that people choose to live by instead of the truth. Many people contribute this by lying to themselves or accepting lies like false pictures that are created to depict a fabricated image.
“Separation is itself part of the unity of the world, of the global social praxis split up into reality and image. The social practice which the autonomous spectacle confronts is also the real totality which contains the spectacle.”
I believe this statement means that the world is divided between the truth and the image people have of the world. The images people create and view are false depictions of others’ lives and situations. However, there pictures combined form a truth, the truths of our culture and community we wish to display.
