Dreams and Emotions Shown in Self-Portraits by Flóra Borsi

Woman with head in birdcage - Portrait by Flora Borsi

In her highly conceptual work, Hungarian photographer Flóra Borsi attempts to “visualize the physically impossible.” Most of her works are self-portraits, though she sometimes uses other models. These images show the subject with her head in a fishbowl and a birdcage, as a face hidden among a large mound of black gloves, and covered in honey while surrounded by honeybees. Borsi says in her artist’s statement that she wants to communicate “emotions, dreams and humour” with her photographs.
