Pauline Faieff is an artist working in nude self-portrait photography, using her own body to explore self-acceptance, censorship and freedom from social and aesthetic norms. She treats nudity as both an artistic medium and a political statement, rejecting the idea that a single perfect body exists.
Her project The Alphabet recasts the 26 letters of the alphabet as photographic self-portraits: close-up, unfiltered images of her own body that are discovered rather than designed. Each work is inscribed on-chain as a Bitcoin Ordinal and paired with an original poem.Rather than literal letters, each piece carries an evocative title such as La résistance or La résilience.,The project grew out of her frustration with the censorship of her body on social media, and its first 26 one-of-one photographs were released on Signals.art in August 2025.The physical prints were exhibited as “The Alphabet: First Breath”, curated by Annelise Stern, at Rome New Media Art Week in July 2026.
Faieff has also worked as a curator, discussing the practice on a panel with fellow curators Blocart and Emma,and contributed to Rug Radio France's coverage of NFT news alongside Eve.Her series My Body, My Rules was shown at IHAM gallery in Paris and at NFC Lisbon, and released as a limited edition on Manifold.xyz.,It uses body photography to challenge conventional beauty standards and online censorship, a theme she has returned to across interviews on nudity and censorship in web3 art.In 2026 her work appeared in the group exhibition “My Body Language”, curated by Olena Yara. There she presented her nude body as “a site of intuition and self-reflection”, using visual and written “notes from the body” to investigate emotional balance.
