photograph with pin scratchings

"cave"

A photographer cannot see the own body through a viewfinder; therefor the body becomes the sole other when the photographer is shooting. With such idea, photographed my body; then added another layer of image by scratching the print surface with pins.
The act helped me to escape from the idea of subjectivity and led me to submerge myself in the domain of unconscious. Led by the memories, I found primitive human urge, which exceeded the idea of distinction between the good and the bad.

This works made up by 2 pieces. These are 1 piece that printed by ordinary methods, and 1 piece that printed as mirror image. After that, added pin scratchings for each.
