The ultimate self(ie)
As digital technology gains in power and portability, the means to express oneself have radically changed, offering new ways to socialize, interact, communicate and represent the self. In this context, the selfie emerges as a new genre of self-representation that goes beyond mere narcissistic and exhibitionist expression.
It constitutes a multifunctional tool that, in addition to responding to needs traditionally subject to the photographic act, has created new ways of communicating and transmitting messages and has become a tool for self-knowledge and self-analysis.

This project analyzes and exposes, through an autoethnographic research, the different discourses and parameters of this new genre of self-definition, which dynamize the corporal, attitudinal, compositional and behavioral directions to which the individual is subjected.
