Laure is not a fictional character, but a virtual identity who substituted for me as I searched for a job over several months. Laure replied to job advertisements, followed the advice of the Job Centre, was interviewed, and was rejected many times…. at the risk of rebelling against her condition. ‘Camouflage Self-Portrait’ revisits a 6-month role playing performance during which I questioned the virtual identities and standards which establish the relationship between personal and professional identities.
