I haven’t blogged for about a month so I feel that its time to give an update of the solo process. So far its very slowly but surely coming together smoothly.

The official title for the show is ‘A Perfect Imperfection’ and it will consist of 15-20 people as an audience. The show’s premise is about a man who takes one selfie a day to find that beautiful image of himself. In the backdrop of the poem being told through voice over, what follows is a desperate quest to ensure that the perfect image stays in that form no matter how far it can go. He is a narcissistic person who doesn’t really care for anyone but himself.  The end of the show will have the song ‘All of Me’ by John Legend. This has been chosen because the song is about a man who is in love with a female. But it can be reinterpreted as a song about someone who loves their reflection in the mirror. That’s how i see it anyways.

The whole concept of this performance is to let people know that taking too many pictures of yourself doesn’t define how good you look. It’s rather about the inner perfection of the human soul that defines who you are or how you look. In short, its about personality over looks.

I don’t intend to sound pretentious with this show as I just want to tell a complex story that shows how we in today’s society thrive on the whole idea of using social media as a paradigm to showing off how we look through the art of taking pictures of ourselves. I don’t want to stop this from happening but i rather want to question why do we take pictures of ourselves too much and what the purpose is for it.
