1996ref. 30442Zurich: Edition Stemmle. Fine in Fine dj. c.1996. 1st English-language edition. Hardcover. lovely as-new copy with no discernible wear to either book or jacket. B&W photographs From the Romanian-born photographer's introduction: "To me photography is essentially a poetic medium. I think of it as a theatrical mode of writing somewhere to set down all my obsessively and tirelessly unfolding fantasies. Every session staged and conceived as a dramatic sequence integrates Woman into a world of dreams. Mythical and multiple Woman invented who by turns assumes the different facets of the hundreds of mirrors I ponder. I can only imagine eroticism in its metaphysical dimension. I adore all that is excessive dreamlike curious. So I have adopted as my own these words by Baudelaire: 'In art only the bizarre is beautiful.'"
