IKWIG !, 2014
The self-portraits from this series share one key similarity: they are related to the production and the direction of Raphaël Neal’s first feature film, Fever, released in theatres in October 2015. After fighting for years to make his movie, Raphaël needed to work alone again and imagined characters appearing in the wrong place at the wrong time: a thief on a deserted beach, a somnambulist on the seashore, a “Lady of Shalott” on a boat marooned on the mainland…
Shooting self-portraits for the first time away from the studio, in the vastness of the landscapes of Norway and Scotland or in the woods and fields from his childhood in France, Raphaël was able to reflect on loneliness, imposture and boredom.
