Bodymaps (2003)

Reality mutates if you get too close. The photograph is then no longer a faithful reproduction of the world, but a place where a different and autonomous reality looms into view. Fonteyne constantly seeks out the tipping point, the instant in which the photographic image loses its natural transparency. The moment when looking is no longer sufficient and the eye has to appeal to the imagination to find a way to the tangible body.
