Real Image / Shixiang

Not a photo service — a photography theatre encounter

Real Image places the camera inside a live situation. You do not need acting experience or a better version of yourself. You enter a structured encounter in which being seen becomes part of the work.

Real Image project material from P4 Theater
Real Image: photography, theatre, and seeing oneself again.
What do I need to do?

No acting experience, no script, no prepared persona. Bring yourself into the encounter.

What happens live?

Photography, conversation, looking, action, and pause are composed into a one-to-one relation.

What remains afterwards?

The photograph is not only a souvenir. It becomes a trace of the relation and a way to carry the encounter back into life.
