The Skin I Live In

my photo series „The skin I live in“, done in collaboration

with Eric Jäger, features spontaneous captures of a textile plane covering a human body. Adapting various forms and movements, the plane and the skin intertwine and blend into one „skin“, thereby harmonizing colorfully with the natural surroundings, or standing out of the nature’s context.

As a surface which covers and protects human bodies, the skin reveals and often determines one‘s being in the world. Amid intensified and ceaseless fights against racial discrimination, white privilege and beauty stereotypes, skin indicates a trespassed limit between oneself and the world, rather than an expression of how one chooses to happen to the world.

Imagined as a map on which others‘ perceptions of oneself are inscribed, skin is often an uncomfortable projection of human engagement and interaction. The camera arrests the moment when the “skin” separates from the body and fuses smoothly with the light grayish clouds, while the late summer slowly transitions into a new season.
