Dead Nature; A Study on Movement

Dead Nature; A Study on Movement
The series is an experiment on movement that gives life to the dead (i.e.: the inanimate object that is our hair), and studies and observes how it behaves and moves.

The photos portray an inversion of roles and play between life and death (the living and the dead elements of the picture) by changing the intrinsic nature of these elements — human flesh reflects light while hair absorbs it.

In these photos the human is reduced to darkness —killed,— while the actual dead element of the human —the hair— is brought to life.

This is the study of this new element that is now rendered a living thing through light.
