putting myself on the map is an attempt to hijack the algorithm-driven platforms for exposure. The project started with the realisation that my curated photography was not reaching an audience on Instagram. Yet, mediocre pictures posted on GoogleMaps would attract tens of thousands of viewers. The discrepancy of intentionality and visibility of these two virtual spaces presented me with a simple, yet original solution: co-opting platforms. Instead of tailoring photography for instagram’s algorithms, I started spreading the very same pieces of work through my GoogleMaps profile, literally and mostly figuratively putting herself on the map to ensure the circulation of my art. By showcasing my work on platforms where they are not supposed to be, I intend to disturb Douglas’ definition of purity as the state of all things being where they are supposed to be.
putting myself on the map was on show at photoSchweiz 2023 and at my first group exhibition titled Purity: between ignorance, misrepresentations and trends.
