a Trigger

a Trigger project seeks to shape the various issues of the under and poor representativeness of people who identify as women within the institutional environment.

In these images, I abandon the form of authority hold by a photographer over its subject, what you see are directed self-portraits. They are in control of the trigger, of their image, and holds in their fists a form of decision-making power.

The idea is to spotlight women as figureheads of change in their milieu of expertise. Activists, artists, writers, journalists, actresses from associations, sex workers, economists, mothers, project managers, directors, musicians, gallery owners : all of them evolve in their community like pioneers at different scales.

By not stating what each person does, I let the viewer confront their own stereotypes that they might afflict each woman by seeking out what each is. Without an answer, we can then delve more deeply into those intimate and revealing portraits.
