Zone 30 Art Public presents Cécile Henryon

Description

Based on these images, the French artist draws a portrait of hypersensitivity as she experiences and perceives it in everyday life. The hypersensitivity described theoretically by American psychologist Elaine Aron in 1996 refers to an above-average sensitivity, often perceived as a burden by those affected. The recent enthusiasm for this topic and the diversity of its manifestations prompt neuroscientists to explore it. This controversial concept and subjective experience, which is both unique and widespread, are at the center of Cécile Henryon's ongoing project. Thus, the photographer uses staging in this simultaneously personal and atmospheric series to visually express her own sensitivity to objects, body movements, and color nuances. The bodies appear vulnerable, floating, or introspective, while the objects – stones, flowers, plants, branches, bubbles – become extensions of inner states. Colored threads run through each composition, connecting elements or creating tension between them, like invisible bonds that connect, make fragile, or maintain a precarious balance. The folds, lines, and gestures create a constant dialogue between gentleness and resistance, surrender and tension, protection and exposure. The colors – inspired by the painting "Eclipse" by French-Czech artist Toyen – are an integral part of the visual language developed by the artist, where correspondences and opposites amplify the emotional power of the images. Each photograph seems to build around a rupture point where delicacy meets passion and fragility becomes a sculptural force. By allowing bodies, forms, and materials to engage in dialogue, Cécile Henryon creates a symbolic universe where hypersensitivity ceases to be merely a psychological trait and becomes a sensual form – a way of inhabiting the world and relating to people, objects, and colors. Biography: Born in Paris, where she also works, Cécile Henryon completed her studies in 2006 at Lycée des Métiers d’Art et du Design Auguste Renoir with a "Brevet de technicien supérieur" (BTS) in Photography and graduated in 2009 from École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in the field of Photo/Video.
