Selfie inspired by Sophie Calle

            Sophie Calle has a weird taste in art because it is unique.  I would not think people would be interested on seeing how people live in hotel room.  In the video, “Sophie Calle’s voyeuristic portraits of hotel rooms” she became a maid to take picture on what people bring to hotel rooms.  I would not believe she had the audacity to read someone’s diary.  A diary is something person where the just want to let their feelings out.  She did not care and though it was fascinating how someone would right what we had to eat and drinks of the day.  I was inspired by Calle because of the hotel room.  I wanted to shoot in my room because of how you can make a place look like a shoot.  It does not matter where you shoot an image because she inspired me anywhere can be art.

            In the chapter “Identity”, I agree on the quote, “One has a to live always an angle … to be oneself at some time another … nothing absolutely nothing, is as it seems.”  For example, people are well dress to go to work to look like they are responsible. They have to fake it till they make it to have a bright future.  That is an angle people other will see of you but others would see something define.  Sophie Calle would see hotel rooms that are untidy and people going through a lot in their life.  Calle found someone threw out a pregnancy test that was unable to read the results.  My selfie is inspired in my room to define me as being happy for everyone to see but I am stressing over a lot and other are not able to see.

           My selfie was an example of both the quote and the reading because people do not know the real me.  People see me as a joy people and would not think I would not be stressing in life.  That is not the case because my image was to show on what I stress once I wake up.  I stress on what I want to wear so I model in my pajamas just wondering in my pose of what to wear.  I always keep my room clean but once school comes in the picture, I just get stressed out so I wanted to show that but not organizing the books in the table.  Someone can have images to make them look good but someone else does not see the angle.  I wanted to be in my room because my room is a area where I can just be myself.  I can cry and laugh about my self without other judging me because my room is a place fore me to reflect on my life.  If you can see the calendar is almost about to fall because I wanted to show on how dates can affect me because of me being stressed out.  I wanted people to see how certain dates can affect me by knowing a certain paper is due on a certain time.  People can see me as a strong, funny man but do not know of my angle being worried about life.
