Socialmydia Plath

Socialmydia Plath is a psycho-literary excavation into the psychodrama of selfhood, filtered through the double lens of the curated self and the confessional poet. In this series, Fauxpamine confronts the digital grotesque with ghostly lyricism—pairing ephemeral, algorithmically-optimized moments of social media spectacle with searing excerpts from the prose and poetry of Sylvia Plath.
The juxtaposition is surgical: Plath’s existential ruptures are laid bare atop selfies, couple photos, and filtered veneers of performative normalcy. This is not a tribute; it is a rupture. The works do not ask what Plath would post, instead, they assert that she already has, through us, through the shared loneliness of attention economies. Here, the tragic is aestheticized, the aesthetic is tragic, and the viewer is implicated in both.
