Time-Shifted Self-Portraits by Chino Otsuka

Wow, new “art” that’s unique and clever.

Brilliant.

Takes narcissism to a whole nother level.

Good point, ted. I was just scanning an old photograph of me as a kid at Disneyland, and really, it never entered my mind, but other people commented that I looked the same, and I wondered why it’s so surprising that I look like I did as a child. I won’t be one of the teeming that attempts this.

ted:

I’m thinking the same thing. What subject does an “artist” treasure more than themself?

And how is it a “self-portrait” when she obviously did not take the picture of herself as a child? The original photo was taken by a family member – most likely one of her parents. And they weren’t going for “art”, but just taking a picture of their kid on a beach. Somehow it becomes “art” by her photoshopping herself as an older person.
