Pinocchio(s)

Excerpted from the Artist Statement:

Having been given the opportunity to feature on the front cover of a specialised puppetry arts magazine, I decided to explore the tale of Pinocchio. More precisely, I was especially interested by the moment in which the metamorphosis between the puppet and the human child takes place. I chose to play a little with the quest for realism by using some basic make-up techniques to transform my child model into a puppet.

Pinocchio 0.0 was the starting point of a visual research project involving several series of photos of children portrayed in puppet-like, inanimate poses. The first series were produced in France. In the aim of reaching closer to portraying the disarticulated bodies of puppets, the following photo series was shot in Mongolia, in partnership with the Institut Français and the contortion schools of Oulan Bator.

Staged is fascinated by the visceral reaction these striking images elicit.
