MATTER & BEAUTY | PAULINE CHOFFE

In this personal series, photographer Roberto Greco and SFX artist Pauline Choffé approach beauty products the way an artist approaches a found object. A mascara against a pale horizon. A lipstick submerged in violet water. A compact dismantled into geometric abstraction. An Aesop bottle under a cascade of silver. The brands are recognisable but incidental. What drives each image is texture, colour and the pleasure of looking at things very closely. Choffé's surfaces, whether liquid, mineral or molten gold, give Greco's compositions their charge. A series that sits comfortably between beauty photography and something more personal. Which is exactly where the best work tends to live.
