50: an introspective study

Picture
On the occasion of his 50th birthday, the photographer began a study with himself as the subject. Between September 2024 and May 2025, several methodologies such as photo journaling, therapeutic self-portrait and re-enactment photography were applied.

Period: March 3 - April 20, 2025
The collected data were presented through thermal prints. These imperfect prints fade quickly and eventually disappear completely because there is no way to fix them.
This introspective study provides insight into the individual experience of a photographer confronted with reaching middle age and the role that visual media can play in this process. Nothing is as transformative as documenting.
