Chun Hua Catherine Dong and Sasha Katz at Galerie Charlot

Elles... étaient une fois

‍

Throughout history, fairy tales and legends have portrayed women as fascinating and ambiguous figures — goddesses, warriors, enchantresses, and mysterious creatures embodying both beauty and danger, fragility and power.

From Ame-onna, the Japanese rain woman, to the fox women of Chinese legends and the fearless Mulan, these mythical figures navigate between mystery, transformation, and freedom.

‍

Sasha Katz reimagines female characters from Japanese folklore through hyperrealistic 3D portraits, revealing the vulnerability and humanity behind their haunting beauty.

Chun Hua Catherine Dong draws on Chinese legends to create enigmatic, supernatural figures whose digital transformations blur the boundaries of gender, reality, and imagination.

At Galerie Charlot, the two artists bring these ancestral narratives into the digital age, creating singular visual worlds where technology meets mythology, and reality merges with fantasy.
