Body Paint
Anyone who has ever taken part in body painting knows the special nature of this not only physical, but also holistic experience. In fact, being completely painted and being painted on can touch us deeply. Our nakedness changes from naked and bare to painted and protected. From insecure and vulnerable to authentic and powerful. This is how we rediscover ourselves and are rediscovered.
For such an experience, we travelled to southern Tuscany, to the mountains of Maremma. Here, in 2011 and 2012, it was my task to photographically accompany a body painting workshop. The result is not only a documentation for the participants, but also an exhibition that takes the viewer into this touching self-experience.
The expressive images make the connection between people and nature tangible.
