Tinder Lucida provides an archive of images produced as part of my three year social media project that took place on my personal Facebook page. I began regularly capturing mobile phone selfies posing as various personas, employing the Tinder dating app interface, and then sharing them as status updates. Originally, I set out with the intention of comedy, and I enjoyed making people laugh. Unfortunately, part way through the project, a traumatic incident prompted me to take another turn. This photobook documents a range of approaches I employed to interrogate the complexities of our selves entangled in a digital age dating culture, via the selfie. All images were produced using my mobile phone camera.
