Summary

In this multilayered opus of poetic symbolism, photographer Rheims and artist Bramly evoke the City of Light in a completely novel way: this is a Paris of surrealist visions, confused identities, artistic phantoms, unseen manipulation, obsession, fetish and seething desire.

Author Biography

Serge Bramly is an artist, writer and essayist. He frequently collaborates on artistic and photographic projects with his former wife Bettina Rheims, with whom he has a son, Virgile. His novel La Terreur dans le boudoir (1994) was adapted by Benoet Jacquot for the movie Sade. His nonfiction books include Leonardo: Discovering the Life of Leonardo da Vinci (1991), Leonardo: The Artist and the Man (1995), and Mona Lisa: The Enigma (2005). He was awarded the aclaimed "Prix InteralliT" in 2008 for his last novel Le premier principe, le second principe.

Inspired by her passion for art and female portraiture, the French artist Bettina Rheims devoted herself wholly to photography beginning in 1978. In the past three decades she has produced numerous major photographic series, which have been exhibited all over the world. Her books include Female Trouble (1989), Modern Lovers (1990), Chambre Close (1994), I.N.R.I. (1998), X'Mas (2000) Shanghai (2003), Heronnes (2007), and The Book of Olga (2008 for TASCHEN). In 2007 she was awarded the LTgion d'Honneur for her artistic achievement.
