Un corps à soi

Nora Rupp’s installation Un corps à soi presents a series of photographs taken over the course of more than twenty years. Inspired by Claude Cahun and Cindy Sherman, this project brings together a series of self-portraits taken during different periods of the artist’s life. Presenting various female characters through meticulous staging, the artist highlights the mechanisms induced by social norms. Seeking to deconstruct stereotypes and denounce gender oppression, Un corps à soi questions the collective imagination about women’s bodies, their place and role in society. Confronting the realms of private and public spaces, the work questions the way in which we exist or define ourselves in relation to the view of others.
