 ABOUT PUISSANTE(S)

 This project was born and evolved following a radical awakening nearly ten years ago. In 2016, I denounced my best friend and associate, guilty of sexual abuse against the models whose careers he managed. After eight years of waiting and investigation, he was finally sentenced in December 2023 to 16 years in prison. This ordeal transformed my outlook. It revealed to me the extent of the hypersexualization of women's bodies, the systemic abuse to which they are exposed, but also my own story as an abused child.

 Since then, my work has focused on testifying to the subtlety and infinite palette of the feminine. Power and beauty when they express themselves in all their dimensions, freed from injunctions and relationships of domination. These women that I photograph, whether naked or clothed, are not merchandise. They are inhabited, whole, alive. They carry within them a force that goes beyond the image: their profound humanity. These women are in full possession of their bodies, they are POWERFUL.

 ABOUT THE WORK

 Sibill, a waitress at La Perle in the Marais, becomes a model here. In the lens, she breathes. She inhales. Inhales. Her presence isn't spectacular; it's intimate. Gentleness isn't weakness, but a discreet intensity. In this portrait, the everyday transforms into ritual: breath becomes power, the simple act of breathing becomes an affirmation of existence. The feminine doesn't always need to shout to be heard; sometimes, a breath is enough.

 ABOUT THE ARTIST

 Sylvie Castioni is a French photographer who brings together fashion, art, and film to create a unique visual language. Inspired by 1990s icons, she began her career in fashion photography before shifting her focus to a more intimate and authentic approach.

 By breaking free from the codes of objectification, she explores the power of the feminine and questions power relations. Her collaborations with brands like Sephora and Laposte, as well as her personal projects, demonstrate a strong commitment to self-esteem and representation.

 Through her series and exhibitions, Sylvie Castioni highlights resilience, healing, and empowerment. Today, she revisits her archives and asserts her place in the art market, driven by a conviction: photography can transform perspectives and contribute to profound social change.
