Freakfast

April, 2010.

Nikon D3, 50 mm 1.8.

Selfportraits, 20 weeks pregnant.

I felt like a monster, owned by another monster, when I was pregnant. My eating disorder showed up again, and I thought it was the perfect time to make pictures about it. I’m constantly trying to « sublimate » my traumas, in a psychanalitic way. So I’ve created 5 freaks, inspired by Freak Shows in the late 19^th century.

Hyperphagia is not a disease, it’s a symptom. It’s one of many ways to turn from emotions you can’t handle. It’s called an « emotionnal buffer ».
