la main de selfie transforms the banal apparatus of the selfie stick into a mirror of cultural introspection. By affixing a reflective surface where vision was meant to extend, the object collapses outward exploration into inward fixation, revealing how technology both mediates and confines our perception of self within the world. What promised amplification becomes reduction: a tool of connection turned instrument of isolation.
In a performative circuit through Paris, the work enacts a tourist’s journey as a choreography of reflection and obstruction. Hands reach forward only to encounter themselves, eclipsing the surrounding cityscape. Perspective is not broadened but narrowed; attention is absorbed by the very device meant to liberate it. In la main de selfie, the mirror exposes the entanglement of desire, technology, and ego, and inviting a reconsideration of what — and whom — we truly observe.
