In the age of the selfie, Mumbai-based animator and artist Gitanjali Rao has come up with the ‘wishfie,’ a set of manipulated photographs that shows her with icons of the past.
A wishfie is a wish-fulfilling selfie, she explains. With the help of her Sony Experia, her first smart phone, the 43-year-old artist has been clicking herself with some legendary images. So, there she is with Ché Guevera (and Fidel Castro), cigar firmly in place, while another has her striking a pose with Guru Dutt! She has even framed herself in famous paintings such as Vermeer’s ‘Girl with the pearl earring’ and shares a kiss in Klimt’s ‘Kiss’.
