Philosophers have long sought to define the essential aspects of the self, with modern alternative understandings focused on our personalities as a plethora of parallel processes and possibilities. Of transformation. Of continuous becoming.
Interfacial Intimacies brings together nine artists offering a reappraisal of the term, expressing tenderly the multiple aspects of selfhood, embodiment and representation through a series of portraiture and anti-portraiture, exploring the tensions of our networked personalities – our shadows, our masks, our shame – via a range of media including photography, film, installations, sculpture, textile, and performance.
