ABOUT THE PROJECT

The project was inspired by Roland Barthes' A Lover's Discourse, in which he poses the question to himself of what is the definition of and how to quantify his desire. In making portraits of the objects of my glances, from friends to strangers and everything in between, Beloved Object... serves as my attempt at understanding the question Barthes posed to himself. ...Revisited presents a survey and conceptual re-editing of the 2005 project. Combining original selections with select re-edits two years later, based on new understandings of my relationships to these people, this body of work may be finished yet benefits from the advantage of the photographic medium and a major theme of my work: the possibility to look again.
