What is EMBODIED?

In today’s society, we find that our bodies, our minds, and our experiences are often under scrutiny: we are looked at and labelled by external, impersonal eyes. From advertisement to social media, to the long-standing tradition of art and photography, people have been and are being reduced to the interpretations of others. Many of us feel constrained by this constant scrutiny and find it difficult to explore our unique subjectivity, let alone expressing it to the outside world. This is why, through EMBODIED, we want to go on a quest, a search for that which has been stolen from us. Through EMBODIED, we want to explore and visualise ourselves as if we had infinite creative freedom and possibilities. Instead of being someone else's muses, we become our own muse, in a journey of self-discovery and self-expression.The project consists of trying to photograph ourselves through our own eyes, representing our bodies and our creativity the way we would like them to be seen and portrayed. These pictures are an attempt to dedicate time to ourselves, understand our bodies better and feel more embodied.
