i never looked like that

Platform 0090 / production


You are the only one who can never see yourself, except as an image, and so you are condemned to your own repertoire of images. 

- Roland Barthes

 

Photos don’t just show and document; they also perform. Charlotte Bouckaert is back on stage, and she takes live pictures of her own body. Vulnerable and searching. Conscious of the pictural traditions around the female body and inspired by self-portraits by past and contemporary female artists, she reads her body within the force field created between intimacy and the societal gaze.
