The Psychoanalytic Mirror of Fragmented Identity
This project, developed over the past fifteen years, explores and documents the paradox of introspection. Each image is a fragment, a facet, an experience, where the “truth” or “authenticity” of the self (if such a thing exists) emerges not from an individual image but from the ensemble, from the multiplicity, from the juxtaposition of states and moments in time.
In this colourless territory, the face ceases to be appearance and becomes question. These self-portraits do not close wounds; they transform them into language. They do not promote answers; they manifest interrogations. Perhaps, in that silent echo, the viewer will also discover that their identity is a cracked mirror, incomplete… and profoundly human.
These images are traces in time: anxiety, strangeness, chaos, winter, silence, summer, etc. In them, the visible is merely the tip of the iceberg; the decisive occurs in the margin, in what is not shown but is felt: the texture of doubt, the gravity of the unfinished gesture, the weight of a shadow that refuses to separate from the body.
This plural approach to the self is profoundly contemporary, and within it there is also an elemental honesty, arising from the tension between intentionality and chance: the author does not claim to know who he is, does not present a consolidated and coherent identity, but rather shows himself investigating, questioning, exploring and in this state of investigation resides the subjective truth of these self-portraits.
