This catalogue accompanied the exhibition of artworks selected from the Paulino and Hetty Que collection and organised by Finale Art File, Manila in 2012. It includes colour plates of self-portraits along with short curatorial notes. Introduction by Patrick D. Flores.
'Imagining Identity is the most thorough survey of self-portraiture in terms of artists, artistic periods, conceptualization and stylistic range to date. First, there is the sheer number: a hundred, so far the most ever assembled. Second, there is the mind-bending historical vista: highlighted in the show is the earliest documented auto-retrato, painted around 1826 by Damian Domingo, founder of the first art Academy in the country.' - from Foreword.
