The Global Selfie Project #10
Here’s your final installment of the Global Selfie Project where we stare unapologetically at people from across the globe. I wanted to collect a selfie taken in every country, I’ve almost managed it…
I’ve tried to avoid the easy selfies of teen girls, because they’re everywhere and part of a teenage girl’s mandate is to try and look as similar to the next one as possible. So that would have been a boring collection, one pout is pretty much the same as another.
If I struggled to find an interesting selfie for an individual country I just used a photo of some of that country’s indigenous people; I think that was my main reason for doing this any way: I just like gorping at people.
You can catch up with previous episodes here:
Vietnam
Yemen
Zambia
Zimbabwe
That’s the end of the “official” list of UN member and observer states, but of course the world isn’t as simple as that. So here are a few additional selfies from countries that aren’t recognised more widely.
Abkhazia
Nagorno-Karabakh
Niue
Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic
Somaliland
South Ossetia
Transnistria
… and our journey is complete dear friends.
