I like the idea of the ghost selfie. Just your simple and visual act of covering yourself and taking selfies leads to deep thinking about our current times of huge individualism, egomania, narcissism, which, at the same time, are signs of profound dissatisfaction with our globalised capitalism. Although too much connected to the digital world, social media, etc., deep inside we very often feel lonely, not being able to reach impossible standards of living, of beauty… of what a terribly unjust system preaches to us. As a result, we feel depersonalised, like ghosts. Is someone really listening to very inside of our souls?
