This comprehensive retrospective of Belins work also includes all her other suites her questioning of corporeality in her explicit studies of bodybuilders; the series of Moroccan brides which broach complex issues of identity and representation; and her investigations of hybrid entities, such as transsexuals, Michael Jackson look-alikes and the mannequins in shop windows.

hardcover. Condition: Fine. Catalogo della mostra itinerante tenutasi presso: 1.Amsterdam, 2007 2. Parigi, 2008 3. Lausanne 2008/2009. Introduzione di Els Barente, William A. Ewing, Jean-Luc Monterosso. Un testo di Régis Durand. Un'intervista di Nathalie Herschdorfer all'artista. Fotografie in bianco e nero. Biografia, Bibliografia . Cm 28,5x23. pp. 312. . Ottimo (Fine). . . . Le fotografie di Valérie Belin evitano la semplice rappresentazione o descrizione, anche se spesso sceglie di fotografare oggetti semplici, come bicchieri, argenteria, specchi veneziani, automobili o carcasse di animali. Cerca invece di svelare l'essenza stessa dei suoi soggetti e di scavare nei segreti più profondi delle cose, della materia e della luce, quasi indipendentemente dagli oggetti stessi. Questa retrospettiva completa dell'opera di Belin comprende anche tutte le altre sue ricerche: la messa in discussione della corporeità nei suoi studi espliciti dedicati ai culturisti; la serie di spose marocchine che affrontano complesse questioni di identità e rappresentazione; e le sue indagini su entità ibride, come i transessuali, i sosia di Michael Jackson e i manichini nelle vetrine dei negozi.
