Project based on the idea of Teresa Claro, who when losing her hair as a side effect of a chemical treatment in her struggle against cancer, decides to turn her head into canvas. Numerous artists paint and photographers record as they broaden horizons and reformulate experiences.

​

For all she feels and thinks, Teresa is presented in the first series as a mixture of a Byzantine saint and modern heroine. The second series focuses on the game of looks; to the eye of the photographer are added those of Teresa and the sharp eye of the painter.

This work is part of a collective creation produced by Julia Lafée, Javier Moreta, Teodoro Schmidt and Samuel Shats.
