_____
Self Portrait looks at the hidden digital infrastructure disguised all around us. It is a life-sized sculpture of the artist that takes its inspiration from the facades given to wireless cell towers. These towers can take the form of a fake tree, a fake water tower, a fake cactus and even are disguised as religious crosses. The artist's face and upper bust in this work is removed and placed on the ground in front of the figure. Revealed where the bust was is an open cavity which holds a hidden armature with a vertical video monitor mimicking the shape of a cell tower antenna and displaying a video with scenes from the artist's daily life.
