In an effort to better understand how Facebook influences our relationships with others, Portland-based artist TANJA ALEXIA HOLLANDER has embarked on an audacious project to photograph each and every one of her Facebook friends. After photographing each person, she requests that they change their profile picture to her portrait. The Are You Really My Friend? project is funded in part by the Maine Arts Commission.
