Julie Pavia – Canons of Chimerical Beauty

by Julie Pavia

A beauty canon is a standard that defines the ideal beauty of human beings. Tastes and fashions being very changeable, the canons are different from one era to the next. Nowadays, with the ease of access to media and social networks, they evolve rapidly, even permanently. They vary from a page refresh or a scroll on Instagram giving birth to micro-canons. This work aims to understand these micro-canons, to confront and desacralise them. Using a questionnaire sent to people from various backgrounds, I collected their opinions and three types of images of themselves. The project takes the form of a publication. The reader discovers the answers throughout the pages as well as the images that confront each other in the form of chimerical collages.

Lost Records

with Ronny Hunger

Sometimes you don’t know that something has been lost — until it’s found again. How many brilliant lost, neglected and forgotten artists can there be? How many albums have been forgotten? How many have been lost? How many were rejected by labels because of political content, critical album artworks or band names? How many didn’t make it through a release and were eliminated or shelved for lack of success? How many dreams, hopes and statements were destroyed? We found 8 of these forgotten albums and worked on the record cover artworks, we tried to catch the mystical mood of these lost recordings, we tried to capture this forgotten music and tried to tell these incredible stories.
