Text in parallel French and English. Beautifully illustrated. "With her great passion for music architecture the theatre and opera Helg's photographs create monumental spaces in which sculpture painting installations and most of all light are constantly interwoven. Like a window opening onto the invisible giving glimpses of the mind her light-filled world is weirdly beautiful at once poetic and spiritual. You step inside and then lose your bearings as if in a drunken stupor and tempted to let yourself slide slowly dangerously between blinding light and total darkness. Beatrice Helg's work ultimately explores the infinite; it is a quest for the absolute or rather a delving into the boundless identity of an inner mystery.00This book presents a selection of her photographs taken over the past twenty-five years accompanied by a wonderful original commentary by Robert Wilson as well as critical writings and poetry by Philippe Piguet Serge Linares and Sylviane Dupuis."--WorldCat.
