ELLES EXISTENT, 2021

Installation, damaged plaster-band cast, photography series

​​

​

The photographic series entitled “Elles Existent” is a collection of images created to shed light on the issue of sexual violence against women. Each photograph features a plaster sculpture representing a deformed woman’s breast, an altered form that evokes both the female body and the trauma it can bear.

​

The choice of ordinary locations as backgrounds is deliberate. It is intended to emphasize the pervasive nature of sexual violence and harassment in everyday life. Placed within familiar spaces, these sculptures serve as a powerful reminder of the often invisible suffering endured by many women.

​

For the final presentation, the images were arranged side by side, in resonance with the same sculptures suspended above them. This spatial arrangement strengthens the visual impact of the work as a whole and creates a dialogue between the sculptural object and its photographic representation.
