Pope Olga (4/8)

This work depicts a woman dressed as a pope who, with a shift in perspective, transforms into a naked, sensual figure. This interplay raises questions about religious ideals, female identity, and autonomy. Plaisance combines playfulness with confrontation to explore and liberate taboos surrounding femininity and faith.

It is an original print (limited edition) created using lenticular printing on a lens-shaped surface, causing the image to dynamically change as the viewer moves. This technique creates a playful effect of depth and transformation in the image.

The work is professionally framed in a black wooden frame, providing a sleek, elegant finish that enhances the vibrancy of the image and gives the whole piece a modern appearance.

The women Cécile Plaisance portrayed are a reflection of Western society. A model for the woman who must simultaneously stand for passion and eroticism, as well as being able to take on the role of housewife and mother.
Plaisancecreates her photo art with this field of tension and continues to fascinate the art world.

Cécile Plaisance was never trained as an artist. Instead of art school, Cecile Plaisance walked the financial world. A degree in commercial economics at the Dauphine University of Paris prepared her for the corporate world. The world where she also found her husband and with him she worked together for years in IT. She worked in Europe and in the United States. At the same time she discovered her passion for photographic art. She photographed everything from people to animals to nature and human structures. Barbie was always there too. As a reflection of society and the position of women in it.
