This project explores the performative dimension of the photographer working in studio, focusing on the gestures and physical movements that he does while working on his practice, including the relationship on the various objects and equipment he uses, and the space in which he moves.
Observing the dynamics between these elements, and how the photographer relates to them, my attention was drawn on what I believe to be a performative dimension present in the photography practice.
I focused on the actions that a photographer performs to realise a piece of work, on this project that is similar to a “behind the scenes”, highlighting the dynamics and the physical aspects of working in a studio.
Finding an analogy between the photography studio and the theatre stage, where the photographer, as an actor/performer, moves in a space where he interacts with other people and various objects. Part of a dynamic and complex machine made of magic that keep its secret mechanism always hidden.
