Signed; Antoine D'agata - Fleurs Du Mal - 2021

Limited to 200 copies and signed by the great photographer Antoine d’Agata! In this book, Antoine d’Agata pushes photography to its limits, shedding the medium to return to the raw. The texts by Charles Baudelaire dialog with photographs that have become engravings through wear and manipulation, where bodies mingle to yield the poetry of the body. For Baudelaire, the photographic medium would for a long time not be an art but simply a technical means of representing reality. As a counterpoint to Baudelaire, d’Agata revisits his own photographs here through digital intervention to return to engraving, as if moving from the pixel to the line of the era; First edition printed 2,000 copies, a masterpiece!
