In the photographs of Neige Sanchez, the body becomes the territory of research linked to the determination, construction and deconstruction of identities of gender. The surface of the bodies lends itself to transformation by gestures and performative acts. It is a vector of normative cultural, social and political representations, and it is a vacillating boundary between the private and the public. Judith Butler observes that the body implies mortality, vulnerability and power to act: Skin and flesh expose us as much to the gaze of the other as to contact and violence. In all gender movements, it is a matter of distinguishing norms and conventions that allow people to breathe, desire, love and live, and norms and conventions that restrict or undermine the conditions of life itself. Carrying the imprint of social life, the body always has a public dimension, it is only later that it becomes what one claims to belong to it. Photography is an object of knowledge but also of social control involved in a historical and political thought. Thus, when the body and its expression are at the center of an artistic work, Allan Sekula observes that the bourgeois honorary foundations, repressive police, racist and scientists are hard to repress. Obviously the art of Neige Sanchez is fundamentally opposed to this coercive disposition, which does not prevent him from being interested in the notions of interstitial, hybridity and multiplicity. It acts in close collaboration and consent with its models. She develops with them other projects such as the Charmed club which interrogates the community by platforms of exchange and experiences that tend to explore the subjectivity. Photography is at home a technical means that suspends and sports a stop on image, a possibility.
