The theme for the exhibition will be Selfies. In the last
year selfies have become a big part of modern culture, even earning the title
of Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year in 2013.
At the Oscars ceremony earlier this month Ellen De Generes took a selfie with a group of actors and actresses at the ceremony, with the goal of creating the most retweeted selfie ever. They succeeded with a total of over 2 million retweets before the ceremony had even finished.

However, there will
be a little twist to the theme. We’ll be focussing more on the idea of a
Conceptual Selfie. Photographs by Ben Toms in Garage magazine were the first
images we were shown that portray the idea of conceptual selfies. The idea is
to have the face shown in an unusual way, which could entail it being made up
or covered by a variety of items and materials or by distorted photography.
