DESCRIPTION
This project arose from a desire to give a voice to those located on the invisible margins of society - female inmates. To avoid a stigmatizing approach, my project invites these women to express themselves through a visual language, both corporal and oneiric, in stark contrast to penitentiary discretion: that of fashion photography.
Apparel take on a significant role in this project especially that the Swiss law does not allow prisoners' faces to be shown in pictures nor to be recognized. The overall goal is to use the visual richness of the outfits to allow the inmates to expand the possibilities of their body language and expression.
Thus, this project aims at the visibilization of women inmates, which is heavily lacking today. By enabling an inner voice, which their bodies articulate through garments, I seek to reclaim and restore their self-image and identity.
