Dirk Braeckman - Sisyphe, Editions Xavier Barral / LE BAL, 2014, Madrid

 

Hardcover, signed.

„Published for the first time in its entirety, the series unfolds as 32 images. They are like fragments from a suddenly veiled scene; all that appears, caught beneath the surface, is a mysterious tangle of thighs, backs, necks, breasts and hair. Anonymous gestures without a story. A sensual knot of bodies, without a face.
With only one recent series, printed on chronolux paper, this is surely one of the most nicely printed books of this photographer, who is more and more becoming well-known to an international public. By rephotographing images from an erotic seventies magazine, showing us entangled body-parts in what could be love or simply the sexual act as basic at it is, Braeckmann kindles our imagination and troubles it at the same time.“
