Carne

Carne is a project about the distorted view I have of my body.

It consists of 27 self-portraits and three texts connected to the progression of the photos.I tried to deform my image until a progressive detachment of it. I used mixed techniques such as reflective paper or directly scratching and burning the films. The project was made with 35 mm and polaroid films.

Below is one of three short texts.

I wish I could be kinder to myself,

Then I look at myself and feel my body overflowing from the edges,

Overflowing from the ideal boundaries.

I wish you wouldn't look at me while I'm

under construction.
