I recently went to Haiti with The Self-Portrait Project as a part of an advocacy campaign for Haitian housing rights. I put together a short montage to give a sense of our experience and the situation there.

The Self-Portrait Project is a visual archive project. It uses a two-way mirror and a remote trigger to enable the user to take photos of him/herself when and how he/she chooses. I built the first one in 2009, and since then, it’s become well-known in parts of Brooklyn and beyond.
