Winner of the Host Call / Galerie Melanie Rio Fluency 2019 Award, young video artist Pauline Lavogez offers a cross-portrait linking images of naked male bodies and filmed introspection. The palpable seduction she establishes with her models in five video and performative tableaux thwarts the power relations and masculine norms dominant in visual culture. In a mirror image, the artist in turn exposes herself in a self-portrait, where she questions the representation of eroticism in the collective imagination and learns to deconstruct her way of looking, as well as our own. Through her exploration of the body, Pauline Lavogez puts her finger on non-verbalized human relationships and broadens our sensitive reading of the image. Camille Velluet
