Close Friends (CAMDEN FRINGE)

Close Friends is a timely new PowerPoint show exploring intimacy, honesty and authenticity in the age of social media. Based on a decade of Instagram Story archives, this fun and thought-provoking piece of storytelling seeks to explore topical questions around the ways we're trained to present ourselves and how we all #relate. Underpinning a tale of failing in the visual arts - from growing up with an Artist parent to undertaking an Art History degree, overcoming teenage image issues and stagnating in a social media career - comes a deeper discussion around the ways we depict ourselves in misguided quests for closeness. Making a case for unfiltered oversharing as opposed to curating a flawless persona, seeking connection over 'engagement' and ditching 'likes' for love, this hour of honest confession abandons attempts to paint a perfect picture in favour of telling a true story.
