Portrait of a girl with a phone in her hands. She lives in her world, everything looks cosy and positive. But what is going on? She is in a social world, watches videos, writes SMS and posts. The indoor atmosphere created, as opposed to the situation with the girl’s behaviour. Self-centred, completely non-athletic, live a grey and uninteresting life alone, but on social networks and with games on the phone.
The gesture of hands and fingers is of particular interest to me. Such a gesture was not before Smartphone time. How we hold it, enlarge a photo with the movement of two fingers or scroll through the pages of a site up and down has become commonplace.
But is it not too easy, these everyday movements and daily focus on the phone came into our lives?
