Regardless of the sun's position, people are endlessly posting their pictures onlinebearing faces that people in faraway countries have never seen before and probably don't care about. However, separated from others through the protective veil of a computer screen, these people are able to choose how to present their picturesmaybe truthfully, masked by the anonymity of the internet, in a way they want others to view them, etc. I integrated photographs I took of myself with my webcam over the last semester with the photos from 24h00 because I wanted to emphasize the point that anyone can be anyone online. Nobody owns the pictures on the internet: they are owned by everybody with a simple copy-paste.

We are being filmed talking pictures of ourselves with our camera phones, these pictures are manipulated out of the real time in which they were taken and are eventually shown to not have been taken by us at all as the final snapshot is revealed as a video. We hope that our installation will create and maintain a dialogue concerning film and photography as layers of mediation between ourselves and the external world.
