A particular form of portraiture is the self-portrait. It resembles a dialogue with one’s own self, in which one’s identity can be explored and potential roles tried out. By choosing photography as the medium, temporality and the relationship between documentation and fiction take on particular significance in this photographic genre.
In this discussion, Piotr Baran, Harry Hachmeister and Edgar Leciejewski explore the challenges inherent in the photographic self-portrait and how one’s own identity plays a part in the construction and reception of self-portraits.

Moderated by Christin Müller, freelance curator and author, Leipzig.
