"CRIE!" (SCREAM!) / Perth Town Hall, 13-19 June 2007
" CRIE !" (Scream!) portraits
Screaming action allows us to show happiness, pain, terror or anger feelings.
It is a violent expression, taking place in our innermost selves, finally coming to our throat to broadcast a fullness of sounds.
Shout takes place through the extricated sound, also in the distortion of the face. The distorted face becomes unrecognizable.
Both combinations (Sound/ distortion), can determine the nature of the sound expression. Some screams are closed and others are open. Some are painful some are beneficial.
These transformations start in the breathing time and fade with the lung, emptied of air.
The photograph takes an important role in the temporal space. It materialises the mutation to constitute a laboratory observation. More than traditional portraits, these images give us the occasion to observe and scrutinize the body differently.
The different facial expressions invite us to imagine the nature of associated sounds.
In our formal society, it is difficult sometimes to let your body express sentiments. Shouting can be necessary sometimes. What a perfect opportunity, when the train passes, to scream. I asked people to catch this moment for them and for my camera.
“crie!” is a black & white portrait series started in 2001.
