UNE CAGE AVEC UNE PORTE OUVERTE

HAIR TRANSCENDS ITS PHYSICAL EXISTENCE, EMBODYING DIVERSE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS. PRIMARILY, IT FUNCTIONS AS A POTENT SYMBOL OF IDENTITY, REFLECTING CULTURAL AFFILIATIONS AND PERSONAL UNIQUENESS THROUGH STYLES, COLORS, AND LENGTHS. ‘UNE CAGE AVEC UNE PORTE OUVERTE’ IS A SYMBIOSIS OF STILL AND MOVING IMAGERY THAT QUESTIONS THE RELATIONSHIP OF OBJECT AND OBJECTIFIER IN THE CONTEXT OF HAIR. WHEREAS THE PHOTOGRAPHS, IN WHICH THE HUMAN BODY IS ABSENT, ARE AN INVITATION TO PLAY WITH THE IMAGINATION AND ASSUMPTIONS, THE FILM, IN WHICH THE HUMAN BODY IS PRESENT, IS A VOYEURISTIC JOURNEY THAT MAKES THE VIEWER QUESTION HIS IMAGINATION AND POSITION AS THE OBJECTIFIER.
