The Saatchi Gallery 21 May 2017

On the 21st of May I went to the Saatchi Gallery to see the new Selfie to Self Expression exhibition.


Whether you love them or loathe them selfies are now so much a part of culture that it is hard to get away from. And lets be honnest we have all taken one at some stage. Be it with a friend, in a location or with a celebrity it does not matter. But is it something new? No its not think back, did your parents ever ask someone to take a pic of you in front of wherever you were visiting? Probably, the thing with selfies are that you do not need to bother others you just take it yourself. At first I thought the gallery would be filled with duck faced pouting selfie takers but luckily its not that at all. There is a great range of people taking self portraits and how that it has become something of the norm in society. Here are a couple of the pieces that stood out for me.
