Aoife Quinn - “IT’S NOT THAT DEEP” - Ducks, Identity, Self Perception, Social Media, & Living in the Moment


Listen Later

Aoife Quinn is a working artist hell bent on trying to carve out useful ways we can navigate life with a positive mindset.

"LSAD Duck Tales" is a social experiment addressing her generation's obsession with trying to appear unique.

At a DNA level we are 99.9% the same. Through creating a generation of influencers, social media has enabled ordinary people attain celebrity status, creating a climate of unrealistic expectations for many. Ordinary people now believe they need to become someone.
Instagram has become a platform where we scrutinize others, but also ourselves.
Is being oneself with innate subtle differences no longer enough?

Aoife created a series of 100 porcelain ducks, which have been distributed to people who have influenced her life. Initially identical, their diverse experiences are documented on a dedicated Instagram account. Through observing their encounters, how and if their exterior changes, Aoife is questioning if it is our life experiences rather than our personas that make us unique.

@LSADucktales provides an opportunity to organically explore and celebrate our day to day lives, finding appreciation in the ordinary.

We discussed how the Ducks came about, my own journey with Duck no70, Instagram & social media, identity, self-perception & LIFE.

"It’s not that deep" … but this conversation got pretty deep.

And I can’t wait to share it with you…
