Paráfrasis

A paraphrase of sculptural works by the artist Camille Claudel in photographic images, each keeping the title of the piece it refers to and translating it into another body. A layer of transparent plastic film (HDPE) is laid over each print, like a second skin for the image. The plastic that was not part of the scene was removed from the photographed settings so it would not appear in the landscape or on the bodies; instead it was physically laid over the image, a wrapping that distorts and fragments the final photograph, repeating on the photographic object the same gesture of confinement of the human body shown in the image.

The series was made in analog, on 35 mm color film with chromogenic prints on photographic paper. These images come from a period in which the author recognized the link between waste, the image and the body. They are images that refer to other works and give material form to the tension of the synthetic as it imposes itself on, discards and fragments other bodies.
