Maguy

Laura Rimayati – Maguy

My diploma project is an intimate edition in which my grandmother, Maguy,  aged 88, is the main subject photographed. She represents older women whose  ornaments as well as sexual urges and the desire to please are intact. The subject  is as delicate as it is impressive and remains perceived by the spectator  as either apprehension or admiration.  Do we still have sexual desires and the wish to seduce despite a body  transformed by time? If so, is it still possible to satisfy these needs? This work  allowed my grandmother and myself to play between modesty and voyeurism  and between authenticity and role-playing.
