In ‘My Brain’, Nici Eberl opens the doors to the most intimate space that is her mind. Through self-portraiture, she not only unveils her own innermost emotions, vulnerabilities, and insecurities but also those of women of her generation.
As portrait photographer, Nici is used to pointing her camera at others, but for this self-reflective series, she challenges herself to reverse the lens, turning it upon herself instead. Drawing inspiration from artists like Cindy Sherman, Zanele Muholi and filmmaker Tim Burton, Nici creates a surreal, enigmatic world of her own, filled with vivid colours, transforming her images into obscure visual narratives, taking the gazer upon a profound exploration of her true self.
