When a person, in their action, is aware of either their self- or other image, they lose some of their presence. We perceive as impersonal, when a person appears to act according to their self- or other image. A person is perceived as present when their self- and other image ³⁵⁹ are the same – the images disappear from their consciousness and make way for shared experiences. This is illustrated by interacting^[5] with the photo^[7].

Personality and sociality Edit

The term personality here abbreviates ›personal identity‹. It describes what makes a person unique. Personality reveals in how a person resolves self- and other images. Similarly, sociality abbreviates for ›social identity‹. For example, an individual's sociality is recorded in their passport. It records which individual it is in regulated social life.

Creative work Edit

Some constitutions grant citizens the right to protection of their ›bodily integrity‹. This right includes protection from violence and injury. The counterpart is the right to be creative with oneself. A person can take their personality as subject of their creative work – depending on the social conditions they live under. Because and if their creative work challenges their sociality, nothing should be included in their passport, that sets limits on this.

Thinking one's self Edit

Olaf Langmack:

»It is self-evident that artists do not label their work as artworks. They are not credible in doing so because they lack sufficient distance from their works. In the case of personality as work, it would be doubly ridiculous^[4] to call oneself an artist of one's self. One can consider it a work – not an artwork.«

» The real challenge: telling your Self yourself. The difficulties then begin with thinking one's self. Why? First of all, I am interested in competing with myself. If anything, I compete for the consistency I show.«

»I exploit the richness of presence. I am guided by the idea that ›everything that comes from thought exists‹.^[6] How could that exclude my body?«

-Personality manifests itself anew again and again in the flow of individual existence. Seeing it in flux frees creative action from individual characteristics such as age, body, or origin. Until 2023 Olaf Langmack's creative interest [[The Interview|was]] in himself. Since then he advocates the ''Right to a Free Identity''.

-My topic from [[:Category:2003 April until 2014 September|2003 until 2014]] was my personal history and from [[:Category:2015 February until 2023 May|2015 until 2023]] my personality. This had practical and, accordingly, economic [[&raquo;(Autofictional Novel)&laquo;|consequences]]. During this time I reduced my social interactions as much as possible, in the beginning by choice and with the COVID-19 lockdowns in Germany by force. I also completely refrained from web work.

-== My self-conception ==
 <blockquote>
-In everyday life, it is self-evident that artists cannot label their work as artworks, for a lack of distance. In the case of ''personality as work'', it would be ridiculous at best{{Index|4}} to call oneself an ''artist of oneself''. One can consider oneself a work &ndash; not an artwork.

-== My method ==
 <blockquote>
-To avoid my blind spot, I use specific methods. To develop them, it helped that I studied computer science, furthered my self-education in philosophy, literature and photography, and treated myself three very different psychological treatments.

-== Personality v. Sociality ==
-Olaf Langmack understands [[Personal Motifs#Personal Values|personal identity]] (short: personality) as the tension between a person's self-image and the image others have of them. He defines [[Professional Motifs|social identity]] (short: sociality) as how one's personality ''sublates'' in everyday life. An example of social identity is what is written about a person in their passport. His slogan of a &rsaquo;Right to a Free Identity&lsaquo; interprets the relationship between personality and sociality.
