A diary, as a format if not meant for a public eye, whom does it address? I see the diary as a form of letter- writing to oneself. The self is a narrator and the reader. The narrator writes about the self who describes the world to the self, who is the reader. It is a situation of the mirror where the self observes itself from different perspectives.

Photo and video diary is an autobiographical way of inscribing yourself in the history. Referring to the current culture of selfies in the social media, it questions the boundaries of private and public, performativity of the self and body, as a product of social construction.
