Mansi Bhatt uses prosthetics and theatrical makeup to recreate images of life. She documents her immediate surroundings, people and objects, then recreates these scenes within the studio, inhabiting various roles and personas along the way. Her images are always partly real and partly fictitious, inhabiting a hazy middle world. Bhatt’s photographs and the performances they represent are also about photography itself, highlighting how the camera reveals the faces of individuals as social masks, as ideal types, as indicative of something collective rather than individual.
