Body Series
(2017 – Ongoing)
Personal
Living in a World where faces can be enhanced, swapped, aged and captured in any given moment, I wanted to portray people and other living things while avoiding personal recognition. I study the relationship between body, landscape and things without the luggage of a person's identity. The creatures I photograph are conceived as a piece of context rather than as sole individuals.
Most images have been treated with an object, digital edits or physical intervention to tell a story, but in some cases mere lights and angles is enough. The most important thing to me is to leave just enough information to see there is a main character, but to also have missing parts so the viewer can make his own interpretation. I think that when identity is ripped away, our brain can focus on the small parts that are usually left unseen.
I work with 35 mm film for a detachment practice, as we cannot make instant judgements or feedback for a picture that we have not yet seen. It sets the tone: this is not a portrait, it is a story about the world that you lead anonymously.
Thank you for watching!
