Un chevreuil à la fenêtre de ma chambre
Un chevreuil à la fenêtre de ma chambre
[Available in French only]
Marie-Eve Gagnon and Marisa Portolese concoct for us a provocative work, entitled Un chevreuil à la fenêtre de ma chambre, around—and through all the twists and turns—of female desire. The artist’s subversive portraits reveal women who fully assume their femininity, their sexuality, and their right to desire and to be desired in attitudes that range from the defiant to the lewd. With her usual biting style, Marie-Eve Gagnon presents Soledad, a young woman whose love-life is full of tribulations and adventures, torn between the instinct for life and the death wish. In order to survive her life, and in the end abandon herself to life, Soledad has to accept that death is always latent and possible.
DES PHOTOGRAPHES
The DES PHOTOGRAPHES collection provides an open site for crossovers between genres, a meeting place where photography and writing can come together in a single work with two points of entry. In these publications, which combine photography and writing, both disciplines play determining roles, while remaining inseparable in the work. Without subordinating one to another, these books explore different but complementary processes where photography and writing combine.
