Selfiephilia merges four distinct practices that intervene in or expand the definition of what constitutes a contemporary self-portrait. Rather than seeking to resolve this categorical question, these artists push at the tensions and ambiguities it presents, pointing to an ultimate irreconcilability through both their methodological and conceptual approaches to the act and outcome of defining a ‘self’ visually. Blurring the boundaries between painting and other mediums, they ultimately investigate the ongoing experience of being and having a body today.
