CLARA
DEMELLE
"A heart beating in the palm of a bloody hand, bare breasts open to the world around them, a sword that pierces the white skin of a woman, myths, legends, chimeras evolve in the same space.
Instagram is an image bank. My goal was to link the old and the new, by confronting so-called "classic" art paintings with the gaze of my generation, which is the total inverse.
A new vision was my starting point. Through the reproductions of details a reinterpretation of the works became possible. I was curious to see how I could make them dialogue with each other and distance their belonging to the past. In particular by the use of timeless themes such as suicide, modesty, eroticism, sensuality, love, pain. "
