As technology evolves it becomes a bigger part of our everyday life in this digitally enhanced age. These social media sharing services are services which enable users to share different contents between each other, but in some cases people just push their private sphere’s buttons. We share too much personal information with other people and we don’t even feel the weight of things. Main problems arise: why? Overcompensation, showing off, loneliness, boredom. The problem is not only the quantity, but also the content of the posts. We let insights to others into our intimate zones that in normal cases would not be other people’s business. Sometimes it almost feels like that our private life merges with the everyday life, and we forget where the thinning border of our private sphere lies. My series is based on phrases like “oversharing” and “TMI / Too Much Information”. I recreated posts, which at certain level exceed the limit of a healthy media sharing. I used posts from different social media sites as inspirations and formed them into photos. My work is this topic’s allegorical examination.
I would like to present these sometimes surprisingly candid things with visual metaphors. We can also interpret it as an association experiment. The minimalist visual expression contradicts the excessive nature of information sharing.
