TITLE: LE SOI

Through his first series of photos « LE SOI » , artist questions the existence of an individual. He considers that each newborn is like a blank sheet of paper that is written over time. What will be left on this sheet of paper if we erase what is written on it? What will be the feeling resulting from this abandonment? Will this feeling be a self-perception?

- Who are you ?
- My name is Xiaoxiang

- Okay, that's your name, but who are you?
- I am an artist.

I see, this is your profession, but who are you?
I’m Chinese

It’s your nationality, but who are you?
I 'm from the Han ethnic group.

- Okay, but who are you, yourself?
- I am a man, a human being.

- But everyone is a human being, who are you, this unique existence?
- I am ... I don't know anymore ...

AUTHOR: xiaoxiang duan CHINA

Born in China in 1984, living in Rome, Xiaoxiang discovered self-taught photography.

Black and white photography is his favorite artistic choice. He manually creates his photographic mise en scene with the objects he finds around him in order to interpret and represent the images that have appeared in his imaginary universe.
