Self-portrait in my bedroom.
This picture was made one night I suffered insomnia. I have not been sleeping well and there are even days when I cannot seem to find the energy to get out of bed. The idea behind showing just one arm and leg comes from the feeling of my body being "submerged" in bed. As if I was trapped or being "eaten" by my own bed. I decided to make a negative of the image in order to achieve the feeling that the bed sheets are clouds, trying to build a more dreamy image that could be linked to my sleep problems.
SELF-PORTRAITS: PHOTOGRAPHERS IN CONFINEMENT
Curated by Svetlana Bachevanova
A collection of self-portraits made by photojournalists from five continents during the unprecedent lockdown due to the corona virus pandemic.
Photographers are people on the road, living to document the lives of others.
Constrained by the lockdown, many of them had their first experience of being still long enough to begin seeing and understanding small details about who they are, their lifestyles and values, that were overshadowed while they were busy. These self-portraits express their experience.
This is a unique collection of self-portraits from some of the best lenses in photojournalism at an historic moment.
Photographers in Confinement is a project in process and I welcome additional submissions from photojournalists at svetlana@fotoevidence.com
I am looking for potential exhibition partners in the USA and abroad.
Svetlana Bachevanova is a founder and publisher of FotoEvidence, long time photojournalist and curator.
