Senta Simond: Blue Hour

Renowned for photographs of the female body that counter stereotypical views of feminine beauty, Senta Simond now captures the male form in intimate, vulnerable moments, revealing a rawness often overlooked. The model, embodying the warmth and emotional connection of a close relationship, evokes the quiet intimacy of a romantic partner or confidant. Blue Hour discusses all of this in a series of stills, from discarded paint-streaked jeans that create natural peaks of shadow, to the overly-sensual imagery latent in adverts for muscular US-made cars. On focusing on these moments of vulnerability and affection, she challenges the often rigid, stoic representations of men in visual culture, highlighting a softer, more vulnerable side of male identity.

Galerie C, which will present the artist’s latest series at Paris Photo 2025, invites Senta Simond for an online meeting on 2 October 2025 as part of Swiss Photomonth for a discussion about her series « Blue Hour », which will be published this autumn by MÖREL.
