Sozial Romantismus

"Sozial Romantismus captures Veronique Bourgoin's bizarre world of the unconscious. This young and accomplished Marseilles-born photographer and artist is the founder of the photographic school reflexe. This book takes Bourgoin's protagonists on a sonambulistic journey, in the course of which they have to master several tests and survive small disasters. By interfering directly and manually in the photographic reproduction process, the artist is able to reach beyond perspective and scale and remove herself from time. Her very insistence upon the poetic power of photography through experimental presentations reminds the viewer of the classical avant-garde movement of the 1920s."
