About This Project

Laura Gaggero

In this photographic series, I explore a body, my body, that exists in the dichotomy of being both inadequate and excessive. It’s a body judged for its appearance and function, deemed “not enough” by societal standards. Yet, through years of battling with its issues, I am now slowly finding a way to accept it.My body is one of pain, requiring diligent care and cures.This body has experienced trauma and grief, but mostly, it has known joy, warmth and love. It’s a vessel that I’ve learned to protect and honour despite its challenges. Through these photographs, I aim to capture its resilience story and the many experiences it embodies. Self-portrait series shot with a shutter remote control and a crystal prism to deform the pictures.
