Through a photographic body of work mixing screenshots and (self-)portraits, Sofiya Loriashvili questions our human and empathic relationship to the artificial figure of love dolls—plastic dolls designed for pleasure.
This series emerged during Sofiya’s studies at Gobelins (Paris). She explores the future of romantic relationships and the role robotics might play in them. Through her research, she focuses in particular on love dolls, these humanoid TPE (plastic) dolls that inhabit the daily lives of “dollers” (the owners). By posing alongside these dolls herself, she blurs the boundaries between the human and the artificial, thus probing our own relationship to these substitute figures.
The series is accompanied by texts written by Sofiya Loriashvili and Lucas Granger, journalist at Canal+, notably a contributor to Le Journal du Hard and Canal+ Love.
