intimate metamorphosis

intimate metamorphosis

Selected in FotoDoc Photo Contest 2025

Through a window, in the crack of a door, within a mirror, I immerse myself in the intimacy of those whose bodies transform during this time of revelry and release. Mas a Po—a cultural and identitarian specificity of Guadeloupean Carnival—draws its strength from ancestral traditions.

This metamorphosis questions not only Creole cultural belonging but also our relationship to bodies, genders, and the social body. Skin becomes veiled, while the gaze becomes unveiled. Skin transforms into a receptive surface whose lines can be redrawn—a canvas opening to infinite possibilities of self-expression, moving closer to the plurality and complexity of being.

Carla Bernhardt

Carla Bernhardt

Carla BERNHARDT is a French photographer born in 1976. After studying art at the University of Strasbourg, she lived in Le Havre before settling in Guadeloupe in 2014—camera slung over her shoulder and a desire to write new stories. Alongside her photographic explorations, she collaborates with press outlets and is a member of the Hans Lucas Agency. Her photography weaves a poetic and aesthetic narrative that verges on documentary, focused on the dialogue between humanity and its environment. Through visual and emotional expression, she captures both the appearance and essence of her subjects. From nature to street scenes, in Guadeloupe or beyond, she trains her gaze on ordinary daily events—freezing moments in time, preserving traces of the fleeting and ephemeral: the emotion of an encounter, the story held in a glance, a texture, or a hand. With an almost painterly approach that is intimate and immersive, she collects visual and poetic fragments.
