Photographer Barbara Iweins made a series of photos touching "the privacy of strangers she met on the street" as part of her "Au mau" project.
Everybody who participated in this project, a Brussels-born artist, was asked to take a picture from 7 am and another at 7 o'clock in the evening.
She said she "entered as a thief" five minutes in their homes to capture their first images before making or making adjustments to come out.
Iweins shared a piece of pictures with her virtual friends to show the changes that our face faces during the day and in detail explained that they were 'hypnotized' by their participants and their images in the morning and evening.
She added that many of the foreigners she had encountered earlier on the street were more reserved than social media people today: "Because of social networks, people are even more aware and more open to posting photos of themselves today. They know their image better and are also aware of the change during the day.When I asked five years ago to take a photo on the road, they were embarrassed ... even by the fact they did not want to come out so suddenly, without "fixing", while today it is fading. "
What she has wanted, in fact, Iweins is a changing image and not the perfect image. "I need to make them more vulnerable."
For the 7am - 7pm project, she added: "I felt that the only moment of the day when a person does not have a shield is the moment when each of us opens for the first time."
