A meticulous survey of French photographer Valérie Belin’s stunning series—from *Magicians*, *Bouquets*, and *Lido* to *Brides*, *Bob*, and *Black Eyed Susan*—and continuing through to recent work, including *Super Models* and *All Stars*.
French photographer Valérie Belin (born 1964) explores matter, the body, the living, and the artificial—and the representations of all these complex categories—in a body of uncanny photographic work characterized by a fascination with light, detail, and surface texture. Valérie Belin presents a survey of the artist’s work since 2007, including her most recent series, *All Star*, a series of portraits of ghostly female figures that cast a vague, melancholy presence against cheerful backgrounds derived from comic books.
Following the photographer’s celebrated retrospective at the Centre Pompidou, this volume includes a text by Quentin Bajac, Curator of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and offers an immersion into Belin’s rare and unusual body of work—a photography of confusion and absence, where backgrounds are brought to the forefront in front of their ostensible subjects, and models and mannequins become indistinguishable.
