Her young body is prison, her pain is a shout, her skin is a map, her scars are paths.
Goran Bertok is dealing with human body, its fragility, vulnerability, ephemerality. We posess our body and in the same time we belong to it. In the Stigmata cycle the main motif is female body and the search for the connection between pain, pleasure, suffering and self-harm.
