Performers

In 2014 I began an unfinished photographic series of portraits around the theme 'performers'. Inspired by Judith Butler's notion of gender as being performative, I asked my friends and close people around me, how would they pose in front of the camera with the idea of being a performer.

Gender, work, art, drama, even humour were present in these shots. This project was completely DYI and most of these pictures have been taking in what was at the time my bedroom, against a white wall.

The images were shown at the Red Gallery in Shoreditch, London , at The Art of Stripping Festival. At the openning night, some of these performers performed an act in a Cabaret format show.
