“Body Politic” is a photographic print that interrogates the tension between the individual body and the collective gaze. Printed on matte paper, the work strips away gloss to reveal vulnerability, intimacy, and resistance.
Through his lens, Kesaobaka Sephoti frames the body not as spectacle, but as testimony — a living archive of memory, struggle, and survival. The muted surface of matte paper heightens the rawness of the image, pulling the viewer closer into the quiet weight of its subject.
Like much of Sephoti’s practice, “Body Politic” moves beyond representation into interrogation. It asks: whose body is seen, whose is judged, and whose is politicised? In doing so, it reminds us that the body itself is never neutral — it is always a site of power, presence, and resistance.
