○● Inès ist eine Schweizer Fotografin, die 2025 ihr Studium der Fotografie an der ECAL (École cantonale d’art de Lausanne) mit Auszeichnung abschloss. Ihre künstlerische Praxis hat ihren Ursprung im Tanz, der bis heute ihre Aufmerksamkeit für Bewegung, Körper und Rhythmus prägt. Während ihres Studiums entwickelte sie ein starkes Interesse an dokumentarischen Ansätzen, wobei ihr Schwerpunkt auf Porträtfotografie und Storytelling lag. In ihren Arbeiten beschäftigt sie sich mit zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen, Identitäten und den intimen Momenten, die bei Begegnungen entstehen. Dabei nutzt sie die Fotografie als Mittel des Austauschs und der Auseinandersetzung mit vielfältigen sozialen und kulturellen Kontexten.

Backstage area where the performers keep their costumes and accessories. This project aims to highlight how striptease shows often reproduce patriarchal symbols of physical strength, vigour and sometimes even violence. The costumes, firemen, police officers or soldiers, are uniforms validated by society that suggest capable bodies meant to protect and dominate. 31.03.2025, Birmingham, UK, © 2025 Inès Riber

Dom, Nate and Demolition are preparing their nude solos. By pumping their penises, they increase the bloodflow and tie an elastic to create the illusion of an errection. The emphasis on penis size reflects the societal construction of masculinity and the pressures men face to conform to these ideals. 04.04.2025, Cardiff, UK, © 2025 Inès Riber

Dom is preparing his nude solo. Before the shows, the performers use makeshift cockrings with elastics to push everything to the front, paired with pumps to enlarge the penis and give the « illusion » of an errection. Central to the plot of the show, its unveiling creates intrigue and anticipation. It becomes an accessory. 15.03.2025, Bristol, UK, © 2025 Inès Riber
