entry description
The project describes an “outside” state. I put the occurring in the field of fantasy, of an “incubator” – the place where emotions, pain, vulnerability and experience are naked, where situations are somewhat absurd, associative, where they also echo childhood. A play implying the contact with object functions as a search, a test and discovery of various thresholds of the sensuous and an exploration of relations with one’s self and the environment. I make a kind of performance using staged photography and inserting scenes in which distortion or discomfort occurs. And my wish was to show and create by distortion, absurdity, environment cleaning, some true space where I try to exit from the standard representation of a portrait image.about the photographer
