| Summary: | "The first monograph by Eric James Guillemain, Backstage Dreams presents 200 works spanning 15 years of the photographer's career. This book documents intimate and privileged moments when the actor is at their most vulnerable--reserved and self-reflective before any performance--considering, contemplating and caught without preparation. Guillemain's work creates a fascinating juxtaposition of empty theatrical sets with a rare series of portraits revealing that final breath or step from the wings to the stage, from the dressing room to the set. From Wim Wenders to Helen Mirren, Nick Cave, Anya-Taylor Joy, Sigourney Weaver, Isabelle Huppert, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, Scarlett Johansson, Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor, Julianne Moore, Simon Baker, Léa Seydoux, Juliette Binoche, Marianne Faithfull, Yosuke Kubozuka, Matthew McConaughey, Vanessa Paradis, Carla Bruni, Sophie Marceau, Norman Reedus, Diane Kruger, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sharon Stone and more, this book offers a glimpse into moments that are usually unseen and that evolve into an unexpectedly meditative art experience. They carry the expectation and anticipation of things to come, of creations yet to unfold"--Provided by publisher. 'Backstage Dreams. The Secret Door to Sets' la prima monografia di Eric James Guillemain, che presenta oltre 200 immagini e copre pi di 15 anni della sua carriera. Questo libro documenta momenti intimi e privilegiati, in cui attrici e attori si trovano nella loro massima vulnerabilit -riservati e riflessivi prima di ogni performance-intenti a considerare, contemplare e catturati senza preparazione. Il lavoro di Guillemain crea un'affascinante giustapposizione tra queste scene teatrali vuote e una rara e segreta serie di ritratti che rivelano l'istante finale prima del passaggio dalle quinte al palcoscenico, dal camerino al set. |
