“Tribes of Our Generation” is a series featuring underground YouTube or Instagram influencers from Northern continents. While strangers to those who are not a part of that specific subculture, they act as role models to their large online community. Suggesting an alternative to a normalized society, they recognize themselves through common subjects of interests such as body modification, tattoos, piercings, fashion and music. These people might initially appear as unusual, strange or even scary to the ones outside of their group; however, Schlegel’s pictures strip these artifacts to restitute the core essence of these individuals.
