Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1987, while finishing his training as a tailor, Bruno Pelassy was living in a studio apartment in Paris, amidst dark clutter and a cascade of needles, lace and fur that his mother used to bring him from Nice. On his cathode-ray television, his VHS tapes played on repeat: The Exorcist (197…3), Female Trouble (1974), and The Law of the Strongest (1975). Sometimes he would turn the volume down to play his vinyl records along with the images: Madame Butterfly by Malcolm McLaren (1984), the recording of Ingrid Caven at Le Pigalls (1978), anything by Madonna. On a pine shelf, a Chanel perfume bag and the beginnings of a library: La Nuit juste avant les forets (1977), Dans la solitude des champs de coton (1985) and Le Retour au desert (1988). Like Koltes, the author of these books, Pelassy was gay, born into a Catholic family, with a military father and a housewife mother. As it turns out from the words of Baptiste Pinteaux, throughout his life Bruno Pelassy embodied a multifaceted and gleaming persona, one of a rampant collector whose subversive and sensual oeuvre rejects pigeonholing. His work, which spans over a decade (1990s2000s), range from sculptures and bijoux to drawings and films, incorporating motifs from both haute couture and the second-hand cultures of a throwaway society, addressing both the issues of adornment and those of technology. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
