EMBODIED
Embodied examines how identity is constructed through the silent accumulation of inherited beliefs, stereotypes, and cultural values passed down across generations. Through carefully composed still lifes, I photograph old domestic objects, some from my own family, others discovered in flea markets, that function as material witnesses to the ideologies embedded in everyday life.
These objects are not merely memory of the past but active carriers of history. As physical inheritances, they carry particular weight—both in their material presence and in the density of ideas they transmit. A grandmother's kitchen utensil, a worn textile, a decorative household item: each becomes a vessel for memory and cherished souvenir, heavy with the ideologies they carry forward while simultaneously holding personal and collective affection.
Corinne incorporates thread, textile, and embroidery hoops into the photographic surface itself, breaking its flatness and creating visual confusion between what is real and what is reproduced. This reflects how cultural patterns are woven into our identities, often invisibly.
Embodied investigates the cycles of transmission that shape not only individuals but society itself—how the past continues to define present-day conflicts, inequalities, and world issues. These are histories we carry in our bodies and homes, profoundly difficult to upend yet essential to understand.
THE HOUR OF THE WOLF
Early in the morning and late in the afternoon when the sun is low, light penetrates my house and casting shadows. My photographs capture the blend of interior and exterior for brief revelatory moments. Windows become porous, words conjoin, and a tension between restrain and freedom is born.
In his essay the “Uncanny” (1919), Freud investigates the meaning of “heimich” (domestic,familiar) and “unheimlich”. He writes about how the unexpected can render the familiar unfamiliar. My photographs explore this ambiguity by interpreting the familiar spaces of my home in an unsettle manner. I look for the unexpected, staging some of the pictures to create cinematic tension, and leaving undefined what occurred before and may happen after.
This series is a meditation on uncertainty. I explore the beauty found in everyday experience but also anxieties provoked by the unknown, and the reassuring environment we would like to create and control but also the fragility of this ideal.
