With the book Superfacial, she takes up some of these images, but goes even further further by revealing his questioning and mischievous look at the world and at herself. She questions her star status by playfully exploring her image by putting itself in the scene. Mixing very personal texts, self-portraits, fan letters and many surprises, she draws up hollow a very intimate portrait which allows us to enter into the depths of his soul. Humor and second degree are never far away and come to mix with deep and disconcerting reflections. Through a series of self-portraits, in Controlling every aspect of her photos, she creates elaborate compositions and humorous ones that intentionally expose their artificiality. These photographic stories construct an image aligned with his critical gaze, offering an alternative vision of the actress and star that the public thinks know. She also presents two other series: one composed of more of 500 portraits of journalists taken during the promotion of his films at over the years. She thus questions the process of mediatization. She poses also his camera on anonymous people photographed from behind, escaping from this made in their eyes.
