This self-portrait is created through combining photographic recreations of other artist's self-portraits. These were staged using household objects predominanly in isolation during the Covid lockdowns. This collage of 184 images is an exploration of the ubiquitous selfie framed through the lens of historical self-portraiture. It is printed to the same size as Jan van Eyck's Portrait of a Man (1433) generally considered to be the first self-portrait in post-antique Western art. The print comes with a separate sheet containing a key for all the original sources.
