Blindly in Love
A marriage proposal is one of the most theatrical moments in a romantic relationship and is often associated with the idea that a partner should “complete” you. The Joker (fool archetype) is offered the eye he is supposed to be missing.
SELF-REFLECTIONS is a series of satirical and surreal self-portraits, presenting a repertoire of four personalities that live inside the same person. Photographed as archetypes and fairy tale characters, they are named: The Villain, The Joker, The Prince and The Boy.
The images, meticulously constructed like paintings with in-depth work on their characterisation, colour and style, form allegorical tableaux whose narratives intertwine artistic, cinematic and philosophical references. They evoke the construction of identity, childhood, death, freedom, madness… sometimes to comedic effect.
Irony and subversion invite the viewer to a striking world filled with a strange chromatic unreality, a theatre of the absurd where a single actor plays all the roles.
