☆ Immediate purchase OK ☆ Price is firm ● Hervé Guibert Photo Book ■ Hardcover, slipcase, obi included ■ Peyotl Kobo ■ 1994 First Edition ■ 14cm x 20cm x 2cm Beautifully bound. Purchased 30 years ago and stored in a dark place. A photobook with black and white photos, each with a story. The portraits of Vincent, the model for "Mad About Vincent," are a must-see, with his supple and dangerous beauty like a demon! Hervé Guibert was active as a journalist and photographer from the 1970s and was close friends with philosopher Michel Foucault. In 1990, he revealed he had AIDS in his book "My Father's Camera" (translated title), in which he frankly described his days fighting despair, which garnered significant attention. This photobook was compiled by his wife, Christine, after Hervé Guibert's suicide in 1991. Through the arrangement of photos filled with a sense of loss, accompanied by short captions and the year of shooting, the unique life of an individual is depicted. Includes the essay "On Conventional Operations," written in 1983, at the beginning. ------------------------------------ My body was not protected by light, as I had believed. On the contrary, light, through the medium of the camera, recorded all the substance of reality. My body appeared as it was, slowly, in his hands, with the gestures of a magician. There are scuffs on the obi due to age and peeling on the corners of the spine of the main book (please check the photos), but otherwise, there is no noticeable damage to the outer box or the contents, and it is in beautiful condition overall. This is a used item that has been stored in a private home. Please consider this before making a purchase.
