Wie komme ich zu meiner Person?
Wer legt mich fest?
Meine Person entsteht erst durch den Vergleich?
Durch Andere, die meinen Rand bilden? Meine Kontur formen? Mich ausfüllen?
Was, wenn die Anderen nie da gewesen wären?
How I became the person I am?
Who determines what I am?
Am I a result of comparison with others? Do other people shape my insides, my contours? What if they had never existed in the first place?
Visitors find a picture of themselves with a handwritten note of a stranger explaining what impact they had on his self-definition.

DESCRIPTION
I take polaroid pictures of people during a public event. I write on the polaroid, what impact their
individual appearances have on my self-definition. The people will find their photographs with these
handwritten notes on a pinboard located at the event.
