SLIMANE, Hedi. Stage.

(Göttingen, Germany): Steidl, 2004. First edition. Hardcover. 20.6 by 36.9cm. Unpaginated. Slimane’s photographic investigation on the mythology of the rock concert. In Slimane’s pictures, the stars of the shows are often conspicuously absent; what the images reveal, instead, is a meditation on the creation of a rock personality, the silent ritual that goes on in the space he (or she?) inhabits. His images capture, as Slimane himself puts it, the sacred–almost sacrificial–space of the stage.” Illustrated throughout. A very good copy in boards without dust jacket as issued.
