Self portrait with skin
‘Self Portrait with Skin’ is an example of my recent series of self-portraits where I am considering fragmented nature of a preceived image and multitude of layers which compose my perception of myself. The portraits speak about the inability to see oneself as others see us. For myself I am never a complete, whole being but rather a moving, changing network of lines, angles, thoughts, expressions, tensions, gestures. There are so many aspects of myself that I can not see it all despite twisting and turning my body and mind.
‘What we are dealing with here is the negative link between visibility and movement: movement equals blindeness; it blurs the contours of what we perceive.(…)The person who has stopped being alive exists more fully than when actually alive, moving around before us’. Slavoy Žižek The Plague of Fantasies.
