From autoportrait to selfie, a webdocumentary by Arte Creative
The selfie: according to the Oxford English Dictionary it’s the word of the year but this craze of the self portrait is by no means new - it’s a hundred-year old habit!
Why are we so obsessed with our own image? This series, entirely written and directed for Arté Créative online, will help us discover why. Through 5 5-minute episodes, with diverse witness accounts from artists, geeks, photographers, specialists or addicts we shall try and understand what makes the selfie so popular and essential.
