ORIENTALE DREAMS - Reflets d'Azur Nouveau (2023) Photography by Charly N'Doumbe

Charley, artist photographer, dives into the heart of the complex intricacies of the human body and its relationship to society. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a desire to challenge established norms, Charley explores the multiple facets of bodily identity through his art.

In his works, the body becomes a field of experimentation where Charley confronts, distorts and modulates, thus defying conventions and expectations. He seeks to give it new identities, to transcend the limits imposed by social and aesthetic norms. At the frontier of prosthetics, he explores the possibilities of creating hybrid and new forms, in a constant quest for neutrality and innovation.

Through his photographs, Charley questions the relationship between the body and identity, featuring cross-dressing and image projections to explore the multiple facets of individuality. His sculptures and objects become extensions of his own body, erased and renewed, transformed according to his artistic experiments.

His work is a profound reflection on the media and social impact on the perception of the body, as well as on the pressures exerted to achieve the body ideal. He denounces the manipulation of appearances and the artificial beauty standards imposed by society, highlighting the vulnerability and fragility of the human body in the midst of this media tumult.

Through his creations, Charley seeks to raise awareness in the viewer, inviting them to question their own perceptions and prejudices about the body and identity. His work is a profound exploration of the human condition, a relentless quest for sensitivity and truth in a world shaped by superficial ideals and restrictive norms.
