In partnership with the Galerie Catherine & André Hug, La Galerie de l’Hôtel Jules & Jim is exhibiting the work of photographer Kourtney Roy through April 5th, including a selection of the famous self-portraits of the young Canadian artist. Welcome to Kourtney’s quirky world…
Caustic, glamorous and strange, Kourtney Roy plays with our fantasies and collective imagination, which she twists, turns and reinvents in a symbiotic process of construction and deconstruction. Wealthy heiresses, worldly and pompous women, frivolous pinups, decadent beauty queens, flight attendants, secretaries, housewives, disenchanted heroines—Kourtney Roy explores the multiplicity of being and possibility. Projecting her alter ego before the lens, she transforms her body past the point of recognition until she embodies another—every other—creating an astounding fresco of everything she is not.
