Les Marques
Les Marques traces the perfection and imperfection
of female bodies in the contemporary representations
that we find in everyday imagery,
between the pages of magazines or in advertisements, where we see scrolling faces and
bodies of women always smooth, white, and
young. Elsa Leydier compares this mechanism of homogenization of female bodies to that which is now in place
in the field of agriculture, where, in order to nurture the
goals of our capitalist society, the seeds are governed
by a system of patents, leading to the prohibition on the
sale of hundreds of thousands of species, and endangering the diversity of living things. Les Marques takes the
form of a visual conversation between Elsa Leydier and
photographer Michel Sedan, who both question the
idea of nature in their work…
