CHAPTER 3 : INVITER LE CHAOS
Devenir Chair (Becoming Flesh) is a personal photographic series and installation project using my body as both subject and material. The project begins with a question: can photography transform the way we inhabit our own bodies? It explores how cultural norms inscribe themselves into our bodies and shape our relationship to ourselves. Moving through difficult and joyful territories, it takes as its starting point my own bodily experience. The project unfolds across four chapters.
In this chapter, Inviter le chaos (Inviting Chaos), I seek to invent new ways of representing my body, assembling my fragments outside the aesthetic and cultural frameworks that have been offered to me throughout my life. Using the traditional form of the still life, I recompose body fragments according to my own poetic logic.
I integrate organic materials (fruits, vegetables, cheeses, stones) and other objects as symbolic substitutes, reminding that the body exceeds its visible materiality - that it possesses an imaginary, energetic, metaphysical dimension that cannot be captured through surface appearance alone. This work becomes a space of resistance and a way of reclaiming bodily agency through creative expression.
