In Focus Tour: Selfie, Self-representation and Status
This tour cuts across the V&A collections through time, cultures and materials to explore human desire to depict ourselves, our tastes and status
From representations of Narcissus both ancient and contemporary to Julia Margaret Cameron’s portraits in the photography centre and Beyoncé’s Papllion Ring , see how art, design and performance reflect our image and culture back to us and reveal structures of patronage in the decorative arts.
