[PHOTO] Two selfies at the Art Gallery of Ontario
I don't take selfies as a rule. When I take photographs, I take photographs of things other than myself, of things I want to preserve. My role as the photographer is implicit. Making it explicit seems pointless to me: Who else is taking the photographs?
Sunday, I indulged. Should I blame the influence of the espresso I sipped in the Art Gallery of Ontario's Galleria Italia?
I at least tried for art with my next selfie, taking in front of the mirrors of David Altmejd's 2007 multimedia sculpture The Index. Bought by the AGO that year, it has been put on display for most of this year.
I think I would like to explore it at greater length later this year. Who knows? Maybe I might use it to take a better selfie.
