Abstract
Objectification is a way to block things that are not supposed to be objects, which often in practice is not generally realized by those who become objects or make them become objects. The human body that appears in photographic imagery in modern life, becomes an appropriate example of how the collective unconsciousness of objectification practices is carried out and produced continuously. This unconsciousness will have an impact on human inability to control and master, and in other perspectives it will also build negative representations of the body and itself. In this work the collective unconscious is accommodated by the ego which then becomes personal awareness, where personal awareness will be conceptualized in the picture frame. This artistic research is interested in conducting an in-depth investigation of the behaviors of unconsciousness of objectification, especially those relating to the human body and self, then explored and used as ideas and foundations for the creation of photographic works. The choice of approach to realize this idea, will use conceptual photography which emphasizes the expression or context of the personal interpretation of the photo artist on a phenomenon as the basis of ideas and main ideas in the creation of his photographic artwork.Keywords: Self Objectification, Body and Ego, Conceptual Photos

Summary
Sifat alami medium foto yang selalu mencari dan menampilkan sesuatu yang ‘indah’, ditopang kepercayaan yang terlanjur mapan atas objektivitas ‘realitas’ hasil perekamannya, membuat medium foto menjadi leluasa untuk digunakan sebagai media yang menampung dan mempermainkan hasrat serta obsesi kedirian dari pembuatnya. Basis penciptaan dari penelitian artistik ini, lebih menitikberatkan pada perspektif yang melihat gejala umum dari objektifikasi sebagai praktek yang ‘membendakan (mengobjekkan)’ sesuatu yang seharusnya bukan suatu objek, yaitu ego dan tubuh manusia dengan melalui pendekatan fotografi konseptual. Bagi peneliti, aktivitas fotografis selfie ini menjadi contoh dari bentuk ketidaksadaran para pelakunya, bahwa mereka telah terjebak dalam ruang objektifikasi atas diri mereka sendiri. Karya ini bukan hanya menitik beratkan pada pertimbangan teknis fotografi saja, akan tetapi juga memperhatikan konteks sosial yang terjadi dalam masyarakat, terutama berkaitan dengan ketidaksadaran kolektif dalam praktek representasi diri mereka dalam bentukan foto selfie. 2. Metode Penciptaan Fox (2012: 6) memperhatikan bahwa secara historis, referensi dari perpustakaan, museum serta arsip-arsip seringkali menjadi tempat yang digunakan oleh para seniman dan fotografer untuk menemukan dan memperkuat ide dan gagasannya. Temuan gagasan dan ide tersebut kemudian diperas untuk divisuaisasikan menjadi karya fotografi
