LOOK AT ME

d10

2010

This is my first photographic series.

This is also the beginning of my performative research, because before that, I was more into painting.

A classical portrait image where working alone with my camera allowed me to be totally myself without feeling shy or that I needed to do something special. I’ve been taking pictures of myself for several months, and afterward, I’ve selected part of it. There is always a double dialogue of two images, two mediums (myself and the camera), my inner feelings, and my outer facial expression. This is intimate storytelling.
