The skin of women who have been scratched, mistreated and loved - loved too much. Women who are very real. The cold, artificial light of a studio, like the light that bathed the artists' studios of the nineteenth century. In the center is a big rock made of papier-mache, at once base, pedestal and sculptor's stool. Haute couture dresses that have been torn, abused and recomposed - tragic and sublime, just like the Heroines who wear them. By playing on these four elements. Bettina Rheims transcends portrait, fashion and nude photography and touches on something more secret and intimate - something painful, amorous and captivating that comes more from the soul than from the body. .
