CHAPTER 3 : INVITER LE CHAOS
Devenir Chair (Becoming Flesh) is a personal photographic series and installation comprising sound and video that explores my complex relationship with my body. The work examines the gap between how bodies are seen and regulated, and the hidden experience of inhabiting them. This project has a therapeutic intention: to dismantle cultural processes that have alienated me from my body by inventing creative modes of bodily expression beyond established norms. The series unfolds through 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.
