Women under influence<\/strong>, 2019-ongoing<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

If my approach to photography could be described as “naturalist”, I provoke situations and “playgrounds” that are fertile for the production of images. Having a rather daily and instinctive personal practice, subjects often impose themselves on me, sometimes before and during the production of images. Theoretical research (literary, philosophical, documentary or even sociological) then comes to direct the form that my work takes. My series can also be the result of a cinematographic equivalent of editing: by taking care to consult my archives and daily photos taken spontaneously, obsessions and recurrences sometimes emerge that allow me to understand, isolate and deepen subjects.<\/p>\n

For the series presented here, it is above all about portraits, where vulnerability is strength. Friends and acquaintances embody several versions of women, and at the same time they are only portraits, a stopped moment in which a representation is played out. They are presented in their singularity but also in a broader idea of the representation of women, what they embody and what they become. It is therefore a question of their relationship to themselves, to their bodies, from which there emanates sometimes a great serenity and other times a kind of inherent discomfort. These portraits are a vain attempt to access their intimacy, their interiority, which in any case brings me closer to my own.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Don\u2019t you think I understand?
\nThe hopeless dream of being.
\nNot seeming, but being.
\nIn every waking moment aware, alert.
\nThe tug of war – what you are with others and who you really are.
\nA feeling of vertigo and a constant hunger to be finally exposed.
\nTo be seen through, cut down, even obliterated.
\nEvery tone of voice a lie.
\nEvery gesture false.
\nEvery smile a grimace. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Commit suicide?
\nOh no.
\nThat\u2019s unthinkable.
\nYou don\u2019t do things like that.
\nBut you can refuse to move and be silent.
\nThen, at least you\u2019re not lying.
\nYou can shut yourself in, shut out the world.
\nThen you don\u2019t have to play any roles,
\nshow any faces,
\nmake false gestures.
\nYou\u2019d think so…<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

But reality is diabolical.
\nYour hiding-place isn\u2019t watertight.
\nLife trickles in everywhere.
\nYou\u2019re forced to react.
\nNobody asks if it\u2019s real or not, if you\u2019re honest or a liar.
\nThat\u2019s only important at the thaeter, perhaps noot even there.
\nI understand you, Elisabeth.
\nI understand why you\u2019re silent, why you don\u2019t move.
\nYour lifelessness has become a fantastic part.
\nI understand and I admire you.
\nI think you should play this part until it\u2019s done…
\nUntil it\u2019s no longer interesting.
\nThen you can leave it, as you leave all your roles.<\/em><\/p>\n
