1,2,3 Person – a constant stream of random portraits, random text, in similar patterns. Poses, moods, aesthetics—people building themselves in public, in ways that overlap more than they diverge. The title refers to shifting perspectives. You, the viewer, are the first person. The image onscreen—the one being addressed, judged, admired, ignored—is the second. And the little walking figure that follows your cursor is the third. One step removed, always observing. Together, they form a feedback loop of self-perception: watching, being watched, performing. Shared identities, built from collectively curated templates. WARNING: there are sometimes penises.
