Practice as Research: Pictures [of you]

  • Natalie Fisher

-I am currently working on my PaRP to complete my Masters degree. My research focuses on the nostalgia of analogue photographs and how this nostalgia functions/changes with the advent of digital technologies and the rise of modern photo albums (Instagram). I am interested in the shift from analogue to digital, in particular how this shift changes our perceptions of self identity. Does our authentic self belong in the way we convey ourselves on instagram, in the film photographs of our childhood- or somewhere in between?
