The self-portrait experience
Cristina Nuñez

www.self-portrait.eu

 On March 2011, in the frame of a workshop co-organized by the University of Luxembourg, Cristina Nuñez placed a professional photo studio at the Casino Luxembourg, for individual self-portrait sessions. After listening to Nuñez’s instructions on the expression of extreme emotions, such as rage, despair, terror and euphoria, each participant took, alone in the studio, a series of self-portraits.
After individual selection the whole group worked together on the perception of the images, with the help of specific artistic criteria and storytelling.
The five selected portraits for the exhibition at the campus are from different workshops including the Luxembourg student workshop.
