Pictoplasma & Project1324 asked you to



Show Your True Self with a Character Selfie!

With several trillion photos now in circulation, what do all the endless selfies, profane profile pics, and pathetic Face Swaps really say about our identities?

In an open call for entries, Pictoplasma challenged young, emerging artists AGED 18-24 to truly express their personality with a self-portrait that lets their real character shine.

From all entries five selected winners will be awarded with a full Pictoplasma Character Design fellowship: Supported by Project 1324, the fellowship covers fees and travel costs to attend the Pictoplasma Academy Mexico City in October 2017, six months of ongoing, personal online mentorship, and a ticket and travel costs to attend the Pictoplasma Berlin Conference in May 2018—including the opportunity to exhibit in a group show!

MEXIQUE : À BORD DU TAXI D'ÓSCAR FERNANDO GÓMEZ




Óscar Fernando Gómez a grandi dans les quartiers pauvres de Nuevo León au Mexique. Ce photographe de 46 ans est devenu chauffeur de taxi sur le tard afin de documenter sa ville. Toute la journée, il se promène et photographie ce qu'il voit à travers la vitre de son cab. L'accumulation de ces scènes du quotidien font de sa série «Windows» un travail à la fois documentaire et auto-biographique. Repéré par Martin Parr, son travail fait partie de l'exposition collective «Autophoto» à la Fondation Cartier.
