I Always Have To Repeat Myself
© Alma HaserCommissioned for Saatchi Gallery’s ‘Selfie to Self-expression’ Exhibition in collaboration with Huawei
Haser always likes to take a photograph one step further, and mostly by printing it out and adding a paper cutting, folding, weaving or other technique to it. With this project she wanted to play with the idea of the digital and instant capture of images on social media. One set reflects on the way we can now take photograph upon photograph without batting an eye, and the other set concentrates on the pixilation and the capability of modern camera phones. Both using a very hands on, tactile analogue ‘paper’ technique.

InstituteTM (collectively Institute Pictures, Institute Studios, & Institute Artist) is redefining how stories are produced and told in the 21st Century. Founded by Producer Frank Evers and Director/Visual Artist Lauren Greenfield, we are a multiplatform production company representing auteur-driven storytellers across commercials, photography, fine art, film, and technology — and producing original work across every screen that those stories live on. Our multiplatform expertise and established global relationships in entertainment, commercial, fine art, and journalism create unmatched reach and cross-pollination of creative work. A film commission informs a photography campaign; a fine art practice shapes a commercial; an editorial relationship opens a documentary. Few companies operate fluently across all of these worlds. Institute was built this way from the ground up.
