la main de selfie transforms the apparatus of the selfie stick into a mirror of introspection. By replacing the expected extension of vision with a reflective surface, the object collapses outward exploration into inward fixation, exposing how technology mediates and confines our perception of self in the world. What once promised amplification becomes reduction: a tool of connection recast as an instrument of isolation.
Staged as a performative circuit through Paris, the work traces a tourist’s journey as a choreography of reflection and obstruction. Hands reach outward only to encounter themselves, eclipsing the surrounding cityscape. Perspective is not expanded but narrowed; attention is absorbed by the very device designed to liberate it. la main de selfie reveals the entanglement of desire, technology, and ego, inviting a reconsideration of what — and whom — we truly observe.
