My Body is Braille for the Creeping Influences

The photographic series, “My Body is Braille for the Creeping influences” is an exhibition of black and white photos mounted on aluminium, each measuring 40 x 40 cm. It is collaboration between Josephine Spak (A), a performance artist and Tony Magner (Irl), visual artist.
The portraits and large close ups of the body explore the relationship between skin and memory, between permanent and impermanent marks left on the body.

The skin is like a storeroom of our memory, a vault of our buried experiences. It is the library of our impressions, the geography of our fragility.
You don’t have to search far. You don’t even have to search your memory: the surface of your brain is inscribed and so is the surface of your skin, perhaps it is the same process. Michelle Serres, 1985, le Cinq Sens, Paris

Each photo is printed in a limited series of seven and costs €350.
