Job
Create flyer and poster for the workshop "Is this really me? Autonomy, Authenticity and Alienation" on 6 June 2014 arranged by the Centre for Advanced Study in Bioethics.
Topic
The phenomena of alienation and self-alienation not only feature prominently in philosophical, sociological and literary works, but are also a matter of everyday experience in the lives of some people. For example, seeing oneself stuck in certain unwanted social roles or patterns of action might affect one’s self-image so negatively that one perceives oneself on the whole as inauthentic or estranged from oneself, even leading to significant restrictions of one’s ability to decide and act autonomously. However, how should one analyze the concepts of alienation and self-alienation more exactly, and what kind of systematic relationships do they have to the concepts of authenticity and autonomy?
Realisation
A photo of a young woman in front of a mirror was taken in a restroom of the Centre for Advanced Study in Bioethics. A secong photo with the left arm taken down. The photo was edited in Lightroom and then layered in Photoshop. The mirror woman was isolated and modified using the liquify tool. It was then edited in Repix giving it an artsy touch. After adding some more manual sketching and smudging in Procreate, the image was readded into the layered file.
