In profile my interest in Art History and portraiture meets my fascination (/obsession) with self-representation on dating apps. The project explores topics around queer identity and visibility, documentation and archive, as well as emotional and surveillance capitalism. It was born after the research for my BA dissertation ‘From Carte de Visite to Tinder: the burden of constant self-representation’ at Birkbeck University, and also after my own observations, experiences and reflections on representations of fellow ‘cruisers’ on dating apps.
