“You are the only one who can never see yourself except as an ima­ge; […] and espe­ci­al­ly for your own body, you are con­dem­ned to the reper­toi­re of its ima­ges.” – Roland Barthes

Photos don’t just show and docu­ment; they also per­form. Charlotte Bouckaert is back on sta­ge, and she takes live pic­tu­res of her own body. Vulnerable and searching. Conscious of the pic­tu­ral tra­di­ti­ons around the fema­le body and inspi­red by self-port­raits by past and con­tem­po­ra­ry fema­le artists, she reads her body within the for­ce field cre­a­ted bet­ween inti­ma­cy and the socie­tal gaze.

After her 11 Seconds, which Bouckaert pre­sen­ted at KVS in 2023 and in which she explo­red how we look at art, and You Are an Object to Me, in which she con­si­de­red still-life art pain­tings, this new cre­a­ti­on explo­res the body. An inti­ma­te gem and a pre­mie­re to look for­ward to.
