The Narcisissme Stick

The selfie stick provides the possibility to capture yourself with who and whatever you want.
For example with your friends, the eiffeltower or the dessert.
Despise with who or whatever you are capturing yourself here is always one constant factor: you are in the picture.

We believe that by using a selfie stick there is a, big, possibility that people got obsessed by this.
Everything they see, and with every one they meet, they want to be captured.
They want to be captured.

And this is where the reality starts warping.
The world has turned into potential selfies.
Everything can be a selfie.
And for the people who are lost in the world of selfies these are selfies.
We are going to warp this warped reality into a new stick.
A stick with, instead of a phone or a camera, a mirror.

By this we want to show that we believe that the selfie stick is not about capturing yourself with friends or landscapes, but it is about capturing yourself.
By replacing the camera for a mirror we are zooming in on this.
We, as we in dutch say, willen op deze manier een spiegel voorhouden.
