Cultural Reappropriation #8 - Limited Edition 1 of 6 Photograph

This photography is part of a larger project in which I pursue a formal research in contemporary photography. I explore various avenues to try to free myself from the flatness of photography. To break this forced two-dimensionality, I use several processes: collages, assemblies, stripping, cutting, tearing, crumpling, crimping, etc. I also use three-dimensional surfaces to elevate photography, and increase depth. My work consists of superimposed layers of photographs. For more than a year, I have been working on an ongoing project called "CULTURAL APPROPRIATION". With this project, I approach several themes: I am particularly interested in identity models and their perceptions. Starting from the premise that cultural identities can not be fixed in definitive categories, I deconstruct and reconstruct these identities by mixing the cultural attributes and signs of each other. I created a symbolic link between each of these diversities by using colored cardboard hats from some DIY found on the Internet. I attributed to this rather insignificant and harmless hat a kind of status, a common cultural attribute shared by the people I photograph, all of different origins, religions, classes, and sexual orientations. The hat becomes the unifying element unifying differences. It was the photos of this project that were used to create the [CULTURAL] REAPPROPRIATION series.
