Biography
Luna Vaz and the self-portrait
Everything begins in her teenage room. The encyclopedia stacked in an unstable column serves as a photo foot. The wallpaper with blue clouds, decor. A balanced SLR camera
Waits for her trigger, while she repeats the postures in front of her mirror. Panting back and forth behind the lens. Pose during the countdown. And start over. Febrile expectation of development. And then to see finally, inscribed in the matter, the proof of its existence.
Twenty-five years later, if the mode of operation has changed little, the technique has refined, notably by adapting its old lenses on a digital box. For his series Bordel Sans Nom, Luna Vaz composes an aesthetic of the extimate: a trunk body, legs invisible and yet standing. Without a face. To the melted contours in the setting, as to soften the flesh and its truth
unspeakable.
Her body, Luna Vaz explores it and exposes it in photography, drawing, dance, video or in its texts. Its site testifies to the diversity of its productions.
