It's a picture of people taking a selfie. I think that communicates what a selfie is better than an actual selfie.

Sure but they are showing someone who we can presume completed taking a selfie. Though, arguably, the photographer we do not see, being further away would have taken a better (less distorted) picture, if the self photographer hadn’t hogged up the view.
In any case, I’d be curious to have joerg colberg’s take on this. Looks like he touches upon it tangentially[1] but not full on.

#7Another recent example of how "bad photography" inspired "good photos" is Juergen Teller's shoot with W magazine. https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/best-performances-portfoli...
The photos are typical of Juergen's style. But his style has been evolving more into casual snapshot aesthetic, but in more ironic way.

I took a self-portrait of... It's people not thinking through what they are saying and rather relying on stock phrases to relay information.

#10But bromine, iodine, chlorine, and silver could not fix an even greater failing of early photographs, their impermanence
Good pun.
