Ellen Meny (b. 1993). “Self Portrait”, 2020.
In this staggering work of genius, here we see the artist in a state of complete and utter laziness. The photo communicates that she has truly given up and gives zero f****. The soggy leftover chicken katsu she eats showcases a clear neglect for her health, while her lack of makeup and unbrushed hair demonstrates that it is January and it is too damn cold out to care about any of this. When asked to describe her work, Meny responded, “I wanted to take a selfie with my new camera”.
