Jon Burgerman's Famous Friends
'Jon Burgerman’s Famous Friends examines our celeb obsessed culture' - It's Nice That
Jon Burgerman has recently been working on creating images for Instagram that show how obsessed the public is with celebrities and their life, and how we "curate our lives towards perfection"
“I’m also trying to show that in most cases these things are actually pretty mundane. So I’m ‘hanging out’ with celebrities, but we’re not doing anything that fascinating (apart from shooting up with Obama of course). Celebrities’ Instagram feeds are often littered with multiple selfies and photos of their cats. They’re just as dull as us normal people!”
This is quite a noteworthy project that informs me and my practice as it's fun and light hearted when dealing with the social issues of attitudes towards celebrities. This is a similar direction that I want to take my practical and conceptual work for Context of Practice.
