During the 2020 lockdown, Sarah Carp took daily photographs of her two daughters. Following the success of this series, she decided to publish a book. But their father objected, citing the need to protect the children’s image rights. Carp therefore edited her photos, concealing the faces. Faced with another refusal by her ex-husband, she asked two child models, the same age as her daughters, to re-enact the daily scenes. The photographer digitally integrated a printing raster on the faces, blurring the identity of the subjects. Through a game of distances and gazes, the coloured dots gradually appear, causing the individual to slip into anonymity. Exhibited near a playground, Sans Visage sparks a debate on the representation of childhood in the age of social media.
