AB

AB was the name of the sketchbook and collage book with which I started my visual photographic research. The notebook was stolen from me in 2017 but the scans of the pages have remained like small pieces of a puzzle. A research on the theme of the experience of discomfort in sexuality, with the idea that the body is the sign of the weakness of the border between abuse and consent. The body is represented as the horizon of an identity that exposes itself each time to the condition of being violated. In 2016 on show in Berlin the photographic installation:" Weder/Oder" consisted of nine silver salt prints and my work table with a shrine under which AB was displayed.
