You are your number one stalker. I Stalk Myself More Than I Should shows a selection of Instagram Stories that have been documented and archived through the use of screen recordings. The work thus displays an archive of memories designed to disappear from the online platform within 24 hours. In contrast to the nature of this feature, the project explores forms of appropriation, interpretation and representation, as well as the qualities and hierarchies of collective memories shared and stored online.
