The long-term project of a French-Swiss photographer. In analogue black and white portraits and anonymous fragments of text she puts women over fifty at the centre and questions the patriarchal ideals of beauty that push older bodies out of sight. Photographed in the private rooms of her subjects, the work produces intimate encounters in which age becomes tangible as lived experience, as strength and as visibility, and it stands as a plea for self-determination and for the recognition of many kinds of female body.
