Between Body and Reality

The body seen as an expression of itself.

Exhibited at the Adei-Wizo Hall. Milan 2003

The way in which we perceive the nature of a body becomes real as soon as we create the thought in our minds, this however is actually just an interpretation of reality.

Reality is what we are and where we live, oftentimes however, we have a perception that we are detached from our surroundings including our body. Somehow it is “less real” than reality because we own it.
To fuse this reality I have used the body as an abstract object in order to create a new space in which it can be seen in varying perspectives, and therefore perceived as something different. In this way we can relate to it not just as something that belongs to us as individuals, but also belongs to the reality of the world.

The way we usually see the human body is just one of the many possible interpretations of it, and as such it can be changed and transformed into something that can bring you to a different level of awareness.
My intention was to show that using photography to play around with the shape of a human body, it can give us the possibility to perceive it and ourselves in a more intimate and real way.
