Claude Gauthier, Photographer
Body and Matter Collection
Photographer Claude Gauthier presents a photographic series in which the body becomes a territory of transformation, a medium for textures, superpositions, and shadow effects that push the boundaries of the medium. His works not only capture the human appearance, but also give it a sculptural, almost mineral dimension, where the skin seems to merge with the material. This visual treatment blurs the boundaries and invites reflection on identity, temporality, and memory.

This image evokes powerful symbolism around identity, fragility, and introspection. The naked body, curled up on itself, is marked by cracks reminiscent of arid, cracked earth, reinforcing the idea of a being in pain or decomposition. These cracks could suggest a deep vulnerability, an erosion of the being, as if the individual were disintegrating under the weight of time or hardship.
