Angélique BOISSIÈRE (XX-XXI) - Lot 316

Angélique BOISSIÈRE (XX-XXI) Self-portrait, 2021 Silver print In the margin, titled, dated, signed and numbered 2/10 Image size: 30 x 30 cm Sheet size: 40 x 40 cm Note: In this self-portrait, Angélique Boissière stages her own body in direct dialogue with the camera, which she holds like an extension of her gaze. The interplay of superimpositions and reflections blurs the boundaries between presence and illusion, between flesh and image, creating a composition that is both disturbing and hypnotic. The frontal, almost sculptural pose lends a silent tension to the whole, where intimacy mingles with a kind of distancing. Black and white reinforces this timeless atmosphere and underlines the conceptual dimension of the work, which questions the construction of identity, desire and the very act of representing oneself.
