He is so obsessed with me
It might be real
as real as any story that claims to be true
It might be
that there is not much difference
between real and imagined
Sometimes
there is no difference at all
He is so obsessed with me is a personal story about a single woman around her forties. The ongoing project started in 2011. The photos are reflections of feelings and experiences. They show the pleasure and the pain, the mess and the glitter.
The work plays with the real and the imagined. The photos are originally documentary, whereas the title character, the “He”, is imaginary. The work is based on the flow of images, repetition and fragmented stories.
He is so obsessed with me exists in two versions: a Photobook (2013) and an Online Story (2017).
The main character and her daily actions form the frame for the book. The book begins intimately, showing an extremely private act.
The online work rambles around the questions of causality, chance and choice. The viewer has to interact with the narrative, arriving at crossroads where he/she has to choose which way to go.
Anything can happen.
Imagine.
