Self-Portraits, 2013 (Intense Transformation)

  • Photographer
    Stéphanie Marie Couson, Switzerland
  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

In my work "Self-portraits, 2013,(intense tranformation)" it is my body that I photograph. How is this body in fact exactly? I question the relationship between the visible image of my body, and the experienced physical transformation during this time of intense change. It is through the photographic act that in a certain way I regain control over the image of this body which evolves with every passing day. Some questions nevertheless remain: "Who I am now, where am I in this process of transformation and what is really happening with me?" Recording: Fujifilm FB-3000 Professional, B&W Instant
