Bemerkung:

Signatur der Künstlerin auf Titelblatt, Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar / Signature of the artist on title page, cover slightly rubbed, otherwise good copy - Melanie Manchot Love is a Stranger -- Photographs 1998-2001 -- Edited by Klaus Honnef -- With contributions by Janet Hand, Klaus Honnef and Stuart Horodner -- 96 pages with 127 colour illustrations -- Melanie Manchot uses photography to challenge socially and culturally constructed ideas about beauty, aging, sexuality, and fantasy. Her photo-text series of kissing couples explores the notions of intimacy and personal space, and the accompanying lines relating people's fantasies add to the subtle humor and tension of the photographs. Manchot's best-known series of nude photographs of her mother is considered beautiful by some and unsettling by others. Her images can be disturbing but are equally gentle and affectionate. -- The Artist Melanie Manchot studied photography and art at New York University, and the Royal College of Art in London. -- Solo exhibitions of her work have been held at the Royal Photographic Society in Bath and at galleries in London, Basel, York, Munich and Cardiff.
