Michel Comte’s book of erotic photographs of a Japanese geisha by the name of Aiko T. A hotel room in 1990 was the site of this artistic collaboration between photographer and model: clothed, then nude; coy, then claiming the delights of self-pleasure; self-possessed yet toying with notions of power and submission—Aiko T is a master of her art before Comte’s lens. The haptics of the resulting book object—clothbound and embossed, wrapped in clear acetate and housed in a slipcase—mimic the sensuous experiences depicted within. Ouvrage relié avec étui, numéroté 260/500 (trace d'étiquette, voir photo)
