About
Marcel Mariën was a Belgian surrealist (later Situationist), poet, essayist, photographer, collagist, filmmaker, and maker of objects. This book, comprising just over a hundred photographs (with a short introduction by Patrick Hughes), is a hymn to the female body, an offbeat blazon from face to breasts to vulva, all adorned with various disturbing accessories: cherries, scissors, the Eiffel Tower, a pornographic deck of cards and, above, a mirror (one with her self-portrait).
