Joël Alain Dervaux Photographies

The young (FTM) man subject of this project is called Kler. His discreet and poetic universe was revealed to me through the photographs he published on Instagram and I became a witness of his metamorphosis. The meetings and photo sessions took place at relatively distant intervals yet were constant by means of a consistent dialogue. Taken from the male wardrobe, clothes and objects - though sometimes somewhat outdated - make up a first privileged means of appropriating his gender, whilst the incorporation process occurs through injections and whilst other male signifiers become flesh. 

This quest for identity is motivated by desire.
