What is "Cabinet of Curiosities"?

A photography series that portrays human abuse in its most vivid form, laying bare extreme malnourishment and neglect in a stark and unapologetic fashion.

The male and female models underwent a total of four hours of special effects makeup and were set up in staged scenes conveying all too clearly the feeling of misery and vulnerability.

The cabinet present in certain images provides a metaphor for the feeling of entrapment felt by many victims of malnourishment and neglect.

This series is only the tip of the iceberg among the artist's photographic journey encompassing similar themes stemming from her own life experiences.

Why Galerie Joseph?

This beautiful Galerie is one of a number of small galleries located in this artistic corner of Paris. Its distinctive "stripped down" walls give it an austere feel ideal for the presentation of these photographs.
