RHEIMS, Bettina. Les Espionnes.

(Munich): Gina Kehayoff, 1992. First edition. Softcover. 21.7 by 21cm. Unpaginated. Preface by Bernard Lamarche-Vadel. German text. A series of 19 enigmatic portraits that deliberately blur conventional distinctions between masculinity and femininity, reality and role-play. Rather than approaching the nude through erotic convention, Rheims constructs psychologically charged tableaux in which costume, gesture, and gaze become instruments of ambiguity and transformation. A very good copy in pink wrappers with integral flaps. This example signed by the photographer with invite card to the opening of the related exhibition at the Galerie G. Apicella (Colonge), September 14, 1992. Card measures 21 by 14.7cm.
