The picture shows a person holding a tablet in front of their face. On the tablet, three identically dressed people in tailcoats and top hats can be seen from behind, suggesting a surreal duplication of the figure depicted. The multiple representation could be understood as a reference to the fragmentation of identity or the perception of one's own personality by others. It reinforces the impression that the self-image is often multiplied and depersonalised in the digital world.
