FELIPE SEPÚLVEDA

Sharing two amazing self portrait series ‘An empty space’ & ‘Marks on desire’ by Felipe Sepúlveda.

“Both projects I´m sending are selfportraits. These pieces are influenced by the way we use Social Media, which is through carousels, so they are very wide sized.” – Felipe Sepúlveda


Un Espacio Vacío (An Empy Space) – Un Espacio Vacío starts as a nude movement exploration of my own body, The images are lit with candle lights which gave the room a very ritualistic feeling. The poses were thought to show different moments like relaxation, tension, anger, pain, but all of them were, somehow, related to sexualty and domination.

Las marcas del Deseo (Marks of Desire) – Las Marcas del deseo explores skin and the way it is modified by love. In this specific set of images, the idea was to get the look of a kiss as if the skin was a photosensitive surface, but also see the modifications that the face, lips and tongue, had during this action. The images were made with a scanner, so it mostly was like licking a machine.
