Description
Becoming an Artwork by Boris Groys explores how modern history is shaped by aesthetizations and our desire to protect ourselves and our creations. This critical analysis examines the tension between self-design and the gaze of others, revealing a complicated struggle for recognition and identity. The practice of self-design has become increasingly important in today's society, where individuals are responsible for presenting themselves to others. However, this responsibility is complicated by the fact that we cannot control how we are perceived by others. Groys' book delves into this complex issue, analyzing the ways in which we try to bring others to see us in a certain way. By examining our relationship with aesthetics and self-presentation, Becoming an Artwork offers a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be seen and recognized in modern society.
