Coming on the heels of the photographer's celebrated retrospective at the Centre Pompidou, this volume includes a text by Quentin Bajac, Curator of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and offers an immersion into Belin's rare and unusual body of work that presents a photography of confusion and absence, where backgrounds are brought forward in front of their ostensible subjects and models and mannequins become indistinguishable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valérie Belin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8862085117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788862085113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Damiani Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.60w x 1.00d","brand":"Valérie Belin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440414535935,"sku":"9788862085113","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_998694d8-a030-480e-a951-731af1131798.jpg?v=1777182291","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/valzsrie-belin-valzsrie-belin-9788862085113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
