A first time the photographic universe of José Castellar Carayol, centered around the nude and a symbol that has become the guiding thread of his work: the Pigalle, the iconic Christian Louboutin stiletto. Far more than a fashion item, this shoe represents a true aesthetic obsession for the artist.
In this series, the models most often appear nude, simply enhanced by this shoe which acts as a point of equilibrium between strength and vulnerability. The heel liberates, and the apprehension of nudity, marked by social codes, is transformed into confidence.
