| Sinopsis: |
The series of self-portraits represents a sort of a visual diary of the photographer's more disquieting moods and feelings. The photographs were taken in the state of emotional upheaval, at the moments when the self was at the extreme point of definition. All the images are deeply subjective, yet they also include references to models of representation - how one perceives oneself is always in collision with the roles one takes up in the eyes of others. The pervasive sense of loss and displacement is mingled with self-enclosed fantasies, challenging the distinction between document and fiction, intimacy and exhibitionism, attractiveness and abjection. The music which accompanies the succession of still images, together with the title, emphasizes the (de)constructed nature of the montaged diptychs, stating that our identity is always already shaped by given cultural models. |
