Occult Games presents occult fantasy photography where subject portrayed as personal doll engaging in mystical practices—"occult games" suggesting esoteric rituals, hidden knowledge, magical practices from past meeting present photographic expression within Bon's meticulously constructed imaginative world. This color work embodies dreams and fantasies of occult practitioners: perhaps witch, ceremonial magician, or esoteric initiate taking physical form through costume and staging creating fantastical dreamy character from diverse occult tales. The photography fuses surrealism (mystical impossible materialized), expressionism (ritual intensity), hyperrealism (precise costume and setting detail), representing how Bon uses subjects as vessels for inherited occult cultural fantasies. Occult Games demonstrates androgynous spiritual creation becoming character from personal tale lexicon: mystical practice transformed into photographic scenario, esoteric dreams materialized through careful construction. The work invites viewers into dreamscape where occult fantasies exist as tangible realities, mystical games becoming visible through Bon's artistic vision transcending traditional photography boundaries.
Dreams and fantasies from the past and present are portrayed by Léa Bon’s subjects, which she uses as her own personal dolls.

Léa Bon is an androgynous fashion and art photographer, with a unique, personal and spiritual body of work. Dreams and fantasies from the past and present are portrayed by Léa Bon’s subjects, which she uses as her own personal dolls. At a young age, Léa Bon found in photography the means by which she could construct her own small worlds using her imagination. Her work breaks with the stereotypes of traditional photography and goes beyond the human eye; it is a fusion between art, fashion, and humanity, evoking surrealism, expressionism, and hyperrealism. She has done multiple exhibitions about her life, among them “First Cycle-Innocent Vision”, composed of 25 works of art that portray her personal journey. Her photographs have been published in numerous fashion and art magazines around the world.
