Gun, fire

ANSELME ALMA SERVAIN

Who is the hunter?

By choosing the stuffed deer as both a symbol of my stolen innocence and a confrontational counteract, I question my role as both the model-prey and as the photographer-hunter. Am I prey, being the model, or am I as well a predator, being the photographer? By consciously submitting myself to an act of appropriation and domination, thus objectifying myself, I aim to question the power dynamics between model and photographer. I examine the camera’s power both to objectify and to transform anything into an object of study, fascination and possession.
