Facebukkake

If you don’t know what bukkake is, don’t look it up. Specially not on google images. All you need to know is that it’s japanese for e pluribus unum, or, “from many, to one”.

Oh! you looked it up? Way to go!

Anyway. This was a performance of sorts that took place on a popular social networking site during the week of my 29th birthday.

I tried to investigate the relationship I have with my own image, and notions of self-representation by creating multiple accounts on a popular social-networking site, and then allowing different people to log into my accounts to augment/alter my personality.

Social networking profiles are the new self-portrait; and this was a way of getting other people to build a digital “portrait” of me while creating multiple, conflicting personalities in a way that isn’t any more unreal than a single profile.
