Social Suicide - “The Death of the Blog”, part 3: Pink-blogger
Model: Idun Daae Alstad MUA/hair/styling: June Agneta Myrén
Blogging is a popular sport in Norway where ’bloggers‘ reveal the intimacies of their daily lives to a willing audience. Social media has become part of our everyday lives, flaunting our achievements whilst sharing our problems and eccentricies. Proud mothers snap pictures of their adorable babies and their latest outfit, whilst sharing their morning workout and bragging about their amazing cupcakes. Young women write and show off their newest party dresses, shoes, makeup and hair-color, selling their sexualized identity online. The fitness queens and kings, bragging about their super-shakes and diets, take candid pictures of their orange abs, following the daily trip to the tanning salon. This blogging boom is a result of a self- admiring culture that is growing in Norway. This “Generation Me” takes self-obsession to an extreme as the blogger waits for positive affirmation for their existence. What would happen if the world stopped reading blogs? Who would the bloggers show off to? Who would comment their amazing outfits, babies, cupcakes, clean homes, wonderful bodies, cool haircuts, achievements and so on? This is a fictional series about the death of blogs, and the bloggers who lost their readers.

Nostalgia in Oslo - This is one of the pictures from my project about businesses in Oslo that have been around for decades and have still kept their original style and shapes.
“Syverkiosken”, a hot dog stand that opened for business in 1979, is still a very popular place to go to amongst the citizens of Oslo, particularly when in need of a late night snack.

Parkteatret was actually built in 1872, and was originally used as an apartment building. In 1907 it got upgraded to become a movie theatre called “Grünerløkkens Kinematograf”. Later, during the 1920s, they did a major reconstruction and a redesign of the facade, and the cinema was renamed again - from “Grünerløkkens Verdenstheater” to the name it still wears till this day - “Parkteatret” (Park Theatre). The facade is famous for its neon lights. Today it is no longer used as a traditional cinema, but as a popular concert venue that hosts concerts, theater, dance, film, debates, conferences and club nights.
