preface
In an era that defines as MADNESS the marginalized people who do not follow the capitalist order of social production, who do not follow the principle of the primacy of profit and efficiency, this excluded subject does not disappear from the dominant vision, but appears as a specter that haunts the rational discourse.
The tension between such differently structured discourses has already occurred in history: the famous Hysteria, a pantomime played out during convulsive episodes, was assembled by Jean-Martin Charcot into a classification of mental illnesses and treated with hypnotherapy. In the end, the omnipotence of observation and experience is challenged, and the narrow scientific discourse reveals its own blind ambitions and flaws.
The symptoms expressed in this photography project may have a long history and share a similar
mechanism with the madness of modern people, but on an individual level it draws a private
landscape with a different speed and intensity, instead of the normative one.
They live alone in their subjective world, where they are kings, witches, and beggars. The black and white silent atmosphere penetrating these bodies creates a great noise of the inner world, where the body is constantly invaded, yet fragile and dignified.
