  Marco Circhirillo, Italy

Self-portrait where the protagonist appears several times,
everywhere, and is both actor and spectator of himself.With this
work I try to analyze some aspects of modernity starting from
myself. The uniqueness and the unrepeatability that once
characterized the work of art (Benjamin 1936) have now been
further supplanted by the advent of digital reproductions; and this
aspect concerns not only art, but also human beings themselves.
Nowadays, thanks to the development of the means of transport,
we could be in several places almost simultaneously: space is
delimited and time is accelerated. But (Augé 1992), at the same
time, in a world that media make more and more technologically
connected, there is a paradoxical increase in loneliness. I start
from here.
