Persona!

2020

Persona! is a series of self portraits I made during a three months residency at Est Nord Est in Saint Jean Port Joli autumn 2020.
Can one perform through the lens of a camera, making a performance within the 10 seconds the camera allows you to pose, move and transform?
In Persona!, I organized a daily photo shoot, exploring my past, portraying me as a child, as a punky teenager, as a young adult, transforming myself in my housewife-mother, my paternal strong grandmother, old friends I remembered and with great joy, I allowed myself to plunge into female archetypes and I was especially experimenting with the concept of female nudes, making and directing my own nude pictures.
