That Moment When You Can See The Crack In The World by Matthieu Croizier at PhMuseum Lab

Matthieu Croizier, the prize recipient of the PhMuseum 2024 Photography Grant, will exhibit their work in a solo show at PhMuseum Lab in Bologna, Italy.

Overview

Matthieu Croizier's work explores the fluid nature of identity, challenging traditional beauty standards. The Swiss artist embraces the different, the new and grotesque, creating dreamlike scenes in which bodies are transformed. The images portray an act of metamorphosis. Reality becomes malleable, things are not condemned to be as they were defined. It is a love letter to the abnormal, where bodies are set free from what they are supposed to look like. Croizier tilts and shifts paradigms to shape a world in which the words “beauty” and “ugliness” cease to mean much. Monstrosity is claimed as tender and spectacular, queerness is a magical and constant act of mutation. If the photographs we are used to seeing represent what we are able to imagine, That Moment When You Can See The Crack In The World expands the coordinates of what we feel is possible. Reality has opened up, free and in flux.

Matthieu Croizier's work has been selected through PhMuseum 2024 Photography Grant and will open on 5 February from 6pm to 9pm. It will be still possible to visit That Moment When You Can See The Crack In The World every Thursday from 5 to 7pm. From 6 to 9 February, the show will be open as part of Art City, the off-circuit of Arte Fiera. Check the opening times on the PhMuseum Lab's website.
