Self-Identity

Philautia means self-recognition and love towards oneself. It implies the reconciliation of what one is with one's own existence, and practicing it implies leaving aside self-pity. Self-identity is a project in three phases where Hollstein strips naked to show the development of his self-love, channeling his personal evolution in a moment of vital crisis through images in a research and reaffirmation project. A declaration of principles in the reconciliation of two identities in conflict, inalienable and complementary where philautia struggles to prevail.
