| Out of personal interest I started using Tinder, not for having a date, but purely out of curiosity how people present themselves in order to have the chance to meet a partner. The focus lies on the profile, what people choose to show. The purpose of a profile, in my opinion, is to present yourself. In general there are a lot of options, but on Tinder you only have the option to upload a certain amount of pictures together with a short description of yourself or your interests. So out of these limitations, you have to get the maximum result, which is to attract a partner of your interest. The way to do that is, I believe, to make an unique profile where you distinguish yourself from the/an average. You can possibly reach that by having very unique pictures and description of yourself.

It is interesting to see that first people make photos with a similar topic, second that people use the same sort of photos for a dating-app in order to attract another. So what does this say about us? First of all, the things we are interested in

| From my total collection I want to transform certain topics into a project. With Tinderscapes I want to show a landscape made out of Tinder-screenshots of girls looking into the distance to a landscape. The way to stitch the screenshots is to connect (the horizon of) the mountains together. By doing so I create a new mountain scenery and make it sort of look as if all the girls are close to each other and wandering around these newly created or put together mountains.
