Relive the 2010s in the most macabre of ways with Cursed Images: Social Media Madness by Kassidy VanGundy. In this short horror story collection, the lines between your real life and your online persona are blurred, creating a frenzy of contradicting identities within the self. Can you curate the perfect psyche? Edit your ego down until there is nothing left? Become part of the digital freak show? Trudge through the terrors of the early days of social media, and let your nostalgia be your nightmare.
Night Gallery meets watching Lady Gaga's "Applause" music video on repeat, this body of work echoes the colorful strangeness of posting on Instagram for the very first time. Instead of fitting in with the elusive popular kids at school, one must win the approval of the entire world, conveniently placed at your fingertips. In this way, we ourselves become the cursed images, the memes, the unexpected monsters that pop up in the deepest corners of the web. We would do anything, ANYTHING to be truly seen.
Break out those selfie sticks, kids.
You're going to want to get a pic of this.
