IN YOUR PLACE
2009-03-23The Selby is in your Place by Todd Selby started in June 2008 with this simple premise: exploring the ways one’s personal space reflects one’s personality, documenting creative people in their creative environment.
Todd set out to photograph and document his friends in their respective environment and began posting daily the recording of these sessions on a website, aptly named The Selby . Friends were soon followed by friends of friends —authors, actors, curators, directors, painters, performers and designers, filmed and photographed in their odd, fun, quirky, bohemian, clean, colorful, messy, irreverent, intimate, and always surprising spaces. By mid-summer, the site was garnering up to 30,000 hits a day, its subjects spanning New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Mexico, London and Paris. Now showing at Colette until May 2nd, 2009
