Understanding the Concept
"Beautiful, witty, charismatic, intelligent, and independent — this is how a woman’s beauty should be defined, not by her makeup or high heels."
Mixage’s photographic project explores the many themes a woman faces in her daily life. To survive these slices of life, she relies on tools of defense (symbolized by a weapon), stays grounded in every situation (represented by her shoes), and each theme is illustrated by a symbolic object.
A woman is not merely a physical body; she embodies strength, courage, and dignity. Every woman, regardless of her experiences, is a sensitive being deserving of respect. Each woman will recognize herself in one of these photographs, and every man will see a woman he once knew.
Understanding the Title
"Mort-elle" — a play on the words "mort" (death) and "elle" (her) — defines the concept of the femme fatale, the “mortelle” woman.
Understanding the Poster
The poster carries a double meaning and is a wink to men, who are absent from the main themes.
At first glance, it signifies that the woman will fight for a man. On a second glance, he must remain careful: one wrong move, and she only needs to lower her stiletto heel to pull the pin and make him explode! Beware, gentlemen — she is MORTELLE !
Understanding the Artist
MIXAGE is a puzzle to be solved by you!
Her exhibition provides 20 clues that allow you to unlock the keys to her mind and open the doors to her inner world. Each work contains an image of the past, a battle, a victory, a defeat, and a wealth of emotion.
It’s up to you to discover this remarkable woman and artist in all her complexity.
