ABOUT: Authored by S. Posner Foreword by Nicholas Henderson
Is this "book" a haphazard collection of Instagram Stories presented in the style of an art monograph? Or is it one whose contents happen to be written and organized in the style of an Instagram Story? In attempting to destabilize the boundary between the two, S. Posner's "Interminable Psychic Affliction: Collected Stories 2022-2025" elevates the act of posting to the domain of artistic practice. Equal parts biographical narrative and critical discourse, Posner's writing lays bare the myriad complexities inherent to the transformation of life into an object for public consumption in the digital age.
A three-year compendium of the author's Instagram Stories that seeks to answer the question: "Why do we post?"
