ARTIST PROFILE – CHRISTOPHE CANATO
French-Australian Christophe Canato lives and works in Perth, Western Australia since 2005. Canato’s body of work is a longstanding examination of the male gender role, identity and sexual orientation in cultural, politics and religion contexts.
In his photography, the staged male body expresses ambiguities between form and representation.
It is not only the representation of the body that challen
ges this artist but the equivocal proximity between the subjects in the scenes represented (the gesture, faces position) and the reading that each of us sometimes makes to the detriment of the artists themselves.
BUNBURY BIENNALE opens Saturday 18 May, 6pm - 9pm. Entry is free and all are welcome. See you there!
