When the real world is transformed into mere images, mere images become real beings.

Never before have so many photos been taken to validate one’s experience: there are millions of images of people and places that exist in the everlasting moment of the present, on the web and the social media. Rome serves as a backdrop of Godlewska’s investigation of our love affair with our own  likeness, constantly uploaded and shared with others.
