One of the major French artists of her generation, Valérie Belin is famous for her numerous series of emblematic photographs. In her work, she never ceases to explore the field of the material world, of the body, the living, of absence, and their representation, closely studying the light, the details and textures of her subjects. Following the first volume published in 2007, Steidl now presents the continuation of Belin's oeuvre - series created between 2007 and 2014. Superimposing multiple negatives and creating interlaid compositions of intense colors or in black and white, Belin challenges our aesthetic preconceptions and tricks our vision. In addition to numerous new series, the book contains views from Belin's exhibition at the Casa França-Brasil in Rio de Janeiro and her performance at the Centre Pompidou, "I Could Never Be a Dancer," giving the viewer a sense of her photographs in the context of different forums. We dive into an extraordinary and rare body of work which virtuously questions material and living matter by means of an unsettling photographic language. Works featured include: "Fruit Baskets," "Lido," "Magicians," "Bouquets," "Ballroom Dancers," "Vintage Cars," "Têtes couronnées," "Black-eyed Susan," "Settings," "Brides," "Bob," "Interiors," and "Still Life."
