“La Esposa esposada (l’épouse menottée)” takes its inspiration both in family and personal memories. Carmen photographed twenty women “wearing” a wedding dress made up of more than a thousand small steel handcuffs in a shape reminiscent of 19th century crinolines - steel hoops that trap the body. To do this, she called upon associations that host women suffering from difficult marital situations or forced exile.
