Performing Adulthood

What does growing up mean for Generation Z, and how do young people portray themselves? Performing Adulthood is a photography and video project by Robin Alysha Clemens about young people between the ages of 16 and 24. This project provides a glimpse into the world of this generation and it prompts us to think about the self-image of young people, for whom the presence of cameras has become ubiquitous. In a society whre visual representations are more important than ever, this project poses the question: what do we show and what would we rather keep hidden? How do others see us and how much control do we actual have over it?
