SMITH invents a mode of existing all their own, a singular photographic writing while playing with online avatars, building a genuinely protean, friendly network where bodies hesitating between masculine and feminine, suspended identities in becoming, meet; the founding question is one of passage, transit, transition, of the in-between, that unassignable, indeterminate space opening onto every possibility. It is in cold, icy mist, darkness and water vapour, rain and snow that the artist feels most at home, where their own body, biological, cultural, artistic, takes its stance, the cold-blue, grey-blue, evanescent-white colorimetry unmistakably that of northern lands, bodies held in reserve, withdrawn, often lying down, alabaster flesh and fainted gazes.
