Mathilde Agius is a photographer based between Geneva and Berlin. She trained at ECAL. Her practice developed in London through editorials in cultural and fashion print publications. Her work has been featured in Art Review, Buffalozine, Kaleidoscope, Fantastic Man, and T Magazine China. Agius was nominated three times for the Photography Swiss Design Prize. She received the “Relève in Photography” grant (2017) and the “Research” grant (2024) from Pro Helvetia. Her work explores how fashion and pop culture codes disseminated by media are reinterpreted individually and within social scenes, contributing to the formation of group identities. Positioned between reality and staged representation, her photographic sessions become performative, where the subject is an active participant. The process is collaborative, generating a shared interpretation of identity rather than a fixed image.
