An online exhibition by Omar
I spend most of my free time in bed, scrolling endlessly on Instagram’s Explore page and consuming whatever it thinks I might be interested in.
I made On Instagram one night in bed in the corner of my room. I feel like I can breathe when I’m alone. I think a lot when I lie down in silence. Fits of desperation, or a wave of sadness – I try my best to distract myself, but I know that it comes back.
On Instagram is a two-channel video which shows me scrolling through Instagram with an in sync screen recording of the feed.
