“Disengaged Body”
I started this series of photos sometime in January 2024. This is the third series in my nude projects. The first one, “Earthly Bodies” was about the relationship between human body and the natural landscape. The second in the series, “Body and Mind” was on body image, body issues and how the human body is perceived by the society at large.
In this new series I’ve taken a slightly different direction, whereby the entire body is not in view, the lighting is minimal and the body is covered partially by a black cloth and surrounded by black in every direction. Also, instead of a single image of each participant, there are a selection of four images per participant done as a single photo.
These three series of work span almost thirty years, during which time, my own body has gone through many severe traumas and I sometimes feel very detached from my own body.
Some of the participants in this current project have also experienced traumas to their bodies.
I still believe in the beauty of the human body, no matter the scars, shapes, sizes or passage of time.
