Being a woman in a patriarchal society always poses a problem of existence, a conflict with one's body, with the limits imposed and with one's almost created destiny. Even in the art world, which claims to be rather progressive, women have always been in the "gaze" position. In other words, in the dominated position. As Michel Foucault says, to look is to control. Thus, the one who controls the camera or the paintbrush is the one who controls and dominates the object photographed or painted. From the outset, man is in a creative and subjective position. He is a spectator. The woman is in a position to be looked at as an object. Her body is offered to the viewer. Thus, according to this distribution, the man exercises control and power over the woman and her body, in art as in society. In this series, I wanted to represent the conflict of a female body in the face of the two colors red and black, and with all that the two colors have in terms of meaning. I covered my body with two fabrics, red and black, stood in front of my camera and did a few dance steps. Dancing was the first way for me to free my body, to connect with it. Dancing was/is the only time I feel in my body. Dancing was the only moment when I belonged to my body. This is a series of self-portraits. This series was exhibited in 2018, in Tunis, as part of the feminist festival Chouftouhonna.
