'Gnoul', also translated as 'body' in English from the Fang language of Gabon, consists of a series of black and white images that question the term 'Black bodies', often used by scientists or media to refer to Black people. The term ‘body’ to mean ‘people’ is used to identify a group of human beings in a specific social and economical context who have been or are being treated as objects.
In this photographic project I question its usage, how it in fact reproduces the objectification that it is supposed to be identifying and the Authority hidden behind it.
