Photographer Nora Rupp sets up in the hall of Photo Elysée with her small house, which she calls a place of one's own to give voice to women.
As part of her current research, the artist welcomes visitors, one by one, for an intimate sharing moment about the history of their bodies. They will be asked questions such as, "How has your perception of it evolved over your life?" or "What are the most significant events that have happened to it?"
Self-portraits from her Un corps à soi project, created over a period of 20 years, will also be presented in the Photo Elysée hall, as an invitation to dialogue and a reflection of the exchanges that will take place within Un lieu à soi.
