In these works, my intention is to depict human bodies that are shot within scenarios staged by myself. I am trying to turn simple actions into enigmatic rituals, which evoke the human body’s emotional fragility.Following studies of french philosopher George Bataille (1897-1962), I intend to explore the domain of eroticism, which Bataille claims is a domain of violence and violation.
It is within conditions of disorientation, probing and searching for a sense of belonging that I analyse psychoanalytical concepts of fetish, desire, ambivalence, voyeurism, sadism, loneliness and the dark gruesome side of society.
The works are an attempt to understand life and death by investigating erotic limits and our unconscious fears and desires.I would like to leave the viewer entirely alone to determine the circumstances of the work. it is intended that they unravel details in order to decipher a narrative.
One such narrative is the question of the primordial state in humans being quick to emerge depending on circumstance. for example, it is stated through research that the human will revert to the hunter-gatherer mentality and kill in order to save their young if without food for five days.
Iam purposefully evoking scratches onto the works, and using the decay of emulsion or other materials. it is a chemical violence that is parallel to the bodily mutilations often depicted in my works.Within that realm, the integrity of the bodies and the integrity of my images are simultaneously dismantled.I reference the following artists as a basis for the dialogue my work.
