This was uploaded as a joke-post on Facebook. Unfortunately the Selfie Culture is
now so entrenched that I think most people viewed the photos as normal holiday
snaps, while secretly feeling them a tad indulgent.
Parody, subtlety and metaphors are old turds that the social media cistern struggle
to flush down:
An exhibition of European Travel photos inspired by the new wave of ‘trash & selfie’ tourism currently plaguing Asia.
Famous icons are rendered ephemeral via the imposing juxtaposition of vainglorious humanity.
Held at the Tandas Centre on Kampong Kolam from July 14th until August 12th.
Entrance fee is one penny. All proceeds go toward convincing a European artist to paint a mural of a green man into the traffic lights at the intersection of Chulia & Beach Sts.
Here’s a sneak peak at some of the works to be displayed.
- Grand Mosque Muscat, Oman
- Westminster
- Sacre Coeur in Montmartre
- Eiffel Tower
- Arc de Triomphe
- Notre Dame Cathedral
- The Pantheon
- Strasbourg Cathedral
