Have you ever stopped to think that our constant need to share everything online tells us ? Why do we build images of our lattes, our pets, our faces, our homes and loved ones in a vacuum, and what we expect to get in return? As we sit behind our screens for hours a day, we often forget that life is still going on around us. Time does not wait us to the phone.
Anthony Geiger, a photographer of 20 years who has achieved success and fame beyond his years, decided to go behind the goal to aim at the screens that control us. The end result is an evocative series called ON-FAKE , and he asks us to think long and hard about what exactly the technology we stole.
Geiger sees the screen as "an object of mass subculture, alienating the relationship to our own bodies, and more generally in the physical world."

Nobody tells you to leave drop your phone in the trash and completely abandon the life you lead online. In many ways, social media connects us to people we would otherwise never know what can be a truly amazing experience. What this talented photographer managed to capture is what happens when you let digital lives crawl and steal parts of our most precious experiences. Everything is about balance.
