Maud Fässler, a young Swiss photographer who graduated from the fertile Ecal art school in Lausanne in 2006, stands out for the harshness and strength of the subjects she chooses to tackle coldly and without pathos: autopsies on corpses, dissections, and the excised genitals of African women.
What does the phrase "Where I go, there I am" mean to you?
In today's society, we always have to project ourselves, to go forward, to look towards the future, and mentally we are already there. We are no longer aware of the present. But where the mind is, everything is. In relation to my photos, another meaning emerges: no matter where we go, in the end we all end up the same.
What does art allow you to achieve?
Photography, rather, because I don't express myself in any other way, allows me to see what I would like to know.
