About project
The body is always been given many meanings. The body as house of the soul, religious item, work of art, entity in its own.
The body has taken any possible form. We forgot what it originally was.
If we take everything off the body – clothes, sexual implications, make up, adjustment layers – what remains is only the flesh in which we live.
Muscles, sinews, mucous membranes, sweat, hairs, tear ducts, blood, nails. To close and protect this organic system: the skin.
We are our skin. Our scars, our imperfections, our stretch marks, our tattoos.
The body is a system that continuously changes. Cells die and generate everyday.
A body photographed today it will be imperceptibly different the day after.
On the other side, the camera. Perfect mechanism and optic geometry.
This is “The flesh we live”.
