entry description
Obfuscation Studies pushes the limit of the idea of “objectifying” a human being. It explores the possibilities of modifying and obfuscating the human body. Wrapping the subject inside a “second skin” keeps their identity ambiguous in terms of ‘human’ versus ‘object’: simultaneously familiar and alienating. This series seeks to find the threshold beyond which the shape and form of the human body is no longer recognised, while developing a minimal type of obfuscation necessary for bringing out new aesthetics from human shapes and postures.about the photographer
