Darcy Padilla
INTERVIEW
EMMANUEL CARRÈRE
In 1993, Darcy Padilla, an American
photographer, met Julie Baird while
on assignment at the Ambassador,
one of the hotels in San Francisco’s Tenderloin
district that catch the overflow from the city’s
over-crowded hospitals. Darcy followed Julie
over the course of the next eighteen years,
until Julie’s death, bearing witness to poverty,
shattered families, drug addiction, AIDS,
and domestic violence.
From the backstreets of San Francisco to the
Alaskan outskirts, “The Julie Project” recounts
the life of Julie Baird, marked by births and
deaths, losses and reunions, simple pleasures
and great pain; a powerful tale of life and death
brought to light in Family Love.
How did you discover the photographic work
of Darcy Padilla?
The photography journal 6Mois, which dedicated a section of its first issue to this young American photographer,
contacted me to write a text to accompany the publication
of her photos. When I saw them, I couldn’t tear my eyes
away, practically in tears and I accepted the project, which
seemed the obvious choice.
How did you proceed?
I went to spend ten days in San Francisco. Darcy told me
Julie’s story. We went through thousands of photographs in
chronological order, so I could then re-transcribe what’s at
play in this long, long series of often very difficult images.
How is this project different from the typical
documentary report on urban misery?
What‘s remarkable about Darcy’s work is that it lasted. It’s
really something to spend eighteen years with someone.
A genuine rapport developed between these two women,
though so much separated them. This is the story, both
artistic and human, told through these exceptional photographs, which are published here for the first time. I really
try to bring this across in my text.
Is there a form of complacency
or self-satisfaction to be seen here?
Absolutely not. Certain photos are extremely poignant and
may be disturbing, but there is nothing complacent about
them. Darcy expressed empathy while maintaining a rigor
in her perspective as well as a remarkable moral rigor.
Julie’s life was a series of failures, but said at the end of her
life that there was one thing that hadn’t been so bad, and
that was meeting Darcy. Someone had kept a record of her
life. Photos allow one to see, and also to exist, even from
the point of view of the subject.
Otherwise, the title of the book is not as grim as
Julie’s fate.
“I hope you can’t stop thinking about Julie’s story, I hope
it makes you feel. I hope it makes you look at the world
differently.” Darcy Padilla
Family Love
It’s the story of a family of people who love each another,
in great pain, in distress, but it’s first and foremost a story
of love and connection between people: the love Julie has
for her children and her companions, between Julie and
her father, and the singular relationship that developed
between Julie and Darcy.

N
ear 6th street in northeast San Francisco, baby. Julie was nineteen years old, and Jack was twenty. Julie
the Tenderloin district is a black ghetto, a den of crime
and misery, an open market for crack—people have
even been seen smoking cigarettes there. Most of the hotels
work in cooperation with the social service system, which pays
their clients’ benefits directly to the hotel, to ensure their
rooms are paid for before they rush to buy their next fix. At
the peak of the AIDS crisis in the eighties, these hotels also
served as annexes for the city’s
overcrowded hospitals: a place for
patients beyond care, except for
their daily morphine injection. Such
was the case at the Ambassador,
which the young photographer
Darcy Padilla began to visit in 1992,
on assignment to shadow a doctor
on his rounds. When she finished
the project, she returned alone and
spent long periods photographing
the patients and building friendships with them. She still speaks poignantly of the transvestite
Brian, so proud of his cleavage; of Diane, who weighed only
65 pounds; of Steven, to whom she gave a volume of Salinger
stories, and who was so afraid of dying alone that she wanted
to promise she would be there, when the time came, but she
knew that you must never make promises you aren’t sure
you can keep, and even though she spent several hours per
day with Steven, reading to him and feeding him vanilla icecream—the only thing he could still eat—she wasn’t with him
all the time, and he did indeed die alone, certainly in horror
and despair, at 3am, while Darcy slept comfortably with her
boyfriend of the time, seven or eight blocks away.
spent most of the day with Rachel in the hotel lobby, where
she was more comfortable than in their flea-infested room.
She sat there, in an armchair near the bay window looking out on the street, her pants zipper wide open around her
belly, still swollen from pregnancy. She was wary and belligerent, telling off anyone who dared speak to her. But Darcy
gently asked if she could take pictures of her baby, whom no
one had photographed since her
birth, and she softened. In spite
of her reticence to sign any sort
of paperwork, she agreed to sign
the form Darcy handed her: OK to
take her picture, OK if the photos
are published one day. Soon, Jack
joined them, took Rachel in his
arms, and played the doting young
father; even more touching were
the clumsy efforts he made to play
the role. Ultimately, they were
very happy to be photographed as young parents. It was as if
they were normal people, as if they had a family. That January
day in 1993, Darcy became their family.
“This is the story,
both artistic and human,
told through these
exceptional photographs,
which are published here
for the first time.”

The stories of Brian, Diane, Steven, and so many others all
look the same: poor, violent families, early-teen runaways,
drugs, prostitution, living on the street, and then the illness
that befalls them, reducing them to bones and lesions, dragging them to the abyss, in a sordid room at the Ambassador
hotel. Twenty or thirty years old at the time, they are all dead
now, and there is no one to remember them except for Darcy,
who keeps hundreds of photos of them in boxes labeled with
their names. These black and white pictures—which show
them laughing and crying, revealing their wounds, their fears,
and the miseries—are the only trace that remains of their time
on earth. The book Darcy was dreaming up at the time, originally entitled Separate lives, different worlds: living poor in urban
America, was not intended to focus on one person; she was
thinking more along the lines of a portrait gallery, and when
she met Julie she certainly didn’t imagine she would spend
the next eighteen years chronicling Julie’s life, all the way until
her death.
Julie and Jack were residents at the Ambassador like many
others, but they stood out because, though they were both
HIV positive, they had no symptoms and had even just had a

OCTOBER 2014
Living stills, time suspended, melancholy, the impossibility of communicating and nevertheless the constant need and desire for the others – Gail Albert Halaban’s pictures tell us of
the life in the cities, as well as of our human condition. Seeing without being seen, that is the
photographer’s question, who wishes to set an authentic temporality, give her point of view
without altering her words. Paris Views presents an intimate, bare, and revisited Paris.

FRANCE BEHIND THE MASK
In 2004, Marc Lathuillière began a photographic project
to depict and catalogue traditional professions in France.
Musée national
“[…] I would have quite easily
agreed to wear a mask, and to
play my own role. I suppose that,
in Marc Lathuillière’s project,
I would have been the greatauthor,
sipping espresso and smoking
Gitanes at the café de Flore. And
I would have done it, too, even
taken a certain pleasure in it.”
Marc Lathuillière
Foreword by Michel Houellebecq
Michel Houellebecq
In 2004, Marc Lathuillière began a photographic project to depict and catalogue traditional professions in France. From the anonymous artisan, to
local and national celebrities, each participant agreed to pose wearing a
mask. Using 200 contextual portraits of archetypal professions from all
corners of France, Musée national incessantly juxtaposes the powerful
aesthetic of France’s charms, and the rigidity of the imposed mask—always
the same—which forces the viewer to question the authenticity of the setting and the people within it. As a device, the mask freezes each subject in
the moment, and causes us to reflect on the continuation of a French model
that is currently in crisis.
A poetic and disturbing look at the French and their intersections
of culture and memory. With a foreword by Goncourt-awarded
writer Michel Houellebecq.

Exhibition at the

“Everyone chooses one’s own way, and a way
to connect to the outside world. I decided
to melt into my environment. Some would say
that I disappear into the landscape; I would say that
it is the environment that takes grip of me and I find
myself unable to choose between activity or passivity.”
Liu Bolin
Do you believe
in what you don’t see?
Liu Bolin is a chameleon who plays with modern society’s urban characteristics. Beijing, Paris, New York, Rome, Venice, Brussels…The settings
where he hides become an essential part of his being, actual extensions
of his body, but also modern paintings that simultaneously enact humans’
presence and absence in the world. A social, architectural, political, economic, and ecological point of view from an artist who rose to adulthood
from the ashes of the Cultural Revolution in China. His ironic yet contemplative gaze offers, through pictures and sculptures, a complete panorama
of the contemporary world.

CHINA
TODAY
Over the last 30 years China has experienced a stunning metamorphosis, upsetting the
world economic and cultural equilibrium from which it had long been excluded. Given
the magnitude of these changes, it is a challenge to sketch an up-to-the-moment picture
of current China, capturing the paradoxes of its development and its wealth. Impassioned with this country for many years, with an established reputation among his Chinese
peers, French photographer Yann Layma has assembled works from fourteen of the best
contemporary Chinese photographers: Yin Liqin, Wang Yuwen, Yann Layma, Wu
Pingguan, Qiu Yan, Lu Guang, Wu Jianbin, Ouyang Xinkai, Qi Shihui, Chen
Bixin, Zhan Youbing, Xu Jingyan, Yu Haibo, Li Yuxiang et Chen Haiwen. One
hundred and forty powerful images to document the essence of China.
Ruven Afanador
FLAMENCO MALES
Following up on Mil Besos (2009)—which focused on
the women of flamenco—Afanador turns his powerful
vision to the men of flamenco, with startling results.
Photographed in Andalusian Spain, these unique images present a universe
inhabited by gypsies, musicians, and most of all the male flamenco dancers,
full of beauty and bravado. Captured in arranged poses or in mid-dance, the
dancers embody the wild, youthful passion inherent in the musical world
of flamenco. Combining the surreal glamour of fashion with documentary
photography, these striking black-and-white images will appeal to both the
fashion crowd as well as the serious art photography audience.

Between 2009 and 2013, as a new chapter in his work focused on the peoples of Europe as a

of the European youth who joined the army for a high level career. During these years, he has
met a number of these young officers who are the bridge between long-lasting traditions, the
history of their academy, and the future they now carry on their shoulders. In each of these
academies, Paolo Verzone chose to picture them in strongly meaningful places, giving to this
book a dimension going much farther than simply symbolizing national unity.

FREEING
PARIS
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of Paris,
this book plunges the reader into the heart of the upheaval that
took place from the 19th to the 25th of August 1940 during the Parisian insurrection against the occupying German forces. Approximately 400 photos, for the most part unpublished images taken
anonymously, are presented here. Organized by neighbourhood,
each date, place, and caption allows the reader a detailed look at
the daily lives of local residents, particularly the Resistance, from
its organization all the way to the Liberation and its excesses. This
photographic panorama is complemented by a collection of 50
period documents (posters, tracts, press clippings, etc.) as well
as pictures taken by famous photographs such as Robert Capa or
Henri Cartier-Bresson.

to the 25th of August 1944:

IMPERIAL CHINA
THROUGH THE CAMERA’S LENS
The Empire of the Sun (or imperial China)… a few centuries ago, the face of China was very
different from the one we see today. Street merchants, open-air theatre, public executions, market-day crowds, booming cities (Peking, Shanghai, Hong Kong…), daily life was full of sights
and sounds both enchanting and terrifying. This is the traditional China that Ferry Bertholet and
Lambert van der Aalsvoort bring to us in numerous exceptional photos, of which the earliest date
back to the 1870s.

Like the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum and the British Museum,

museums in the world. Harboring nearly 3 million works of art, the
museum features art from almost every civilization and nation: its
collection includes Scythian gold, Chinese textiles, paintings by
Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, as well as one of the most important
Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collections in the world. This
official publication marks the 250th anniversary of one of the world’s
greatest cultural institutions and includes its newest acquisitions.

Bare sensuality under the untied kimonos, frenzy
and fantasy in the country with images of a floating
world… The Shunga from the Edo period, valued
by an entire society, even had an influence on
impressionist painters. These paintings portray the
erotic expression of a couple with pleasures and
pains, and the beauty of their body, also summing
up the best of the art of Japanese engraving.
Including works by Ukiyo-e artists such as
Suzuki Harunobu, Kitagawa Utamaro, Utagawa

Improbable Fig Leaves,
the Rejection of Sex in Art
Sylvie Aubenas, Philippe Comar
22 x 28.5 cm – 240 pages – € 52
World Rights available – OCTOBER 2014
Artists have been endlessly creative in testing
the limits of their times: from the classic fig leaf
to the most stubborn, gravity-defying draperies,
from acrobatic seashells to opportune shrubbery,
all the way to censors’ full-page rectangles and
Duchamp’s and Mondino’s modern variations on
Courbet’s l’Origine du Monde. Hide everything
under a veil of suggestion? Eclipse all else by
featuring their all-too-human protagonists’ private parts front-and-centre on the canvas? From
goddesses to every-day folk, they let it all hang
out… well, almost.
Enjoyable and richly illustrated, this book is
presented by Sylvie Aubenas of the Bibliothèque
Nationale de France, and by Philippe Comar,
who offers his expertise and perspective as a
visual artist.
INTERVIEW WITH
SYLVIE AUBENAS
ET PHILIPPE COMAR
How did you come up with
the idea for this book?
SA : It was thanks to two paintings, in succession. The
first by Flandrin, the second by Gérome, which made me
realize that hiding the genitals was a topic as interesting
as it was unknown. Philippe and I discovered that this
question, which is central to the portrayal of the nude, had
not been studied by art historians.
What did you discover?

in “Dream of Venus”, 1939
Silver-gelatin print
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
SA : By compiling a significant amount of iconography on
the subject, we realized that the vine leaf, which initially
was a reference to an episode from the Bible, was gradually
replaced, even appropriated, over the centuries.
PC : There is a religious pressure to hide the genitals. Initially, they were simply hidden behind a vine leaf to respect
biblical tradition then, very quickly, artists looked for strategies to avoid this, and used a bouquets, draped fabric, and
seashells as camouflage.
They practiced censorship
so as to better subvert it?
PC : It is indeed interesting to see how certain artists
played with this form of censorship to simultaneously
hide—and thereby respect the censure—and at times
exhibit a lot of humor, as well as a lot of perversity, and
thereby invite a certain subversive reading of the painting. In a way, these paintings become more “obscene”
with the fig leaves than without them. When Mabuse, at
the beginning of the 16th century, hides Neptune’s groin
behind a pointed shell, it naturally becomes the focus of
the picture.
And today?

DIABLORAMAS
OF THE 19TH CENTURY
Diabloramas are clay models created in France between 1860 and 1895 (approximately), and photographed for the stereoscope. The photos were printed on very
fine paper and mounted on a parallel frame. Color photography had not yet been
invented at the time. The images were painted from behind and protected by extremely thin paper. When lit from the front, the image appeared black and white. When
lit from behind, it appeared in color. Because they were photographed for stereoscope, they are also visible in 3-D.
INTERVIEW
WITH DENIS PELLERIN
What is the idea behind Diabloramas?
Diabloramas are clay models created in France between 1860 and 1895 (approximately), and photographed for the stereoscope. The photos were printed on very fine
paper and mounted on a parallel frame. Color photography had not yet been invented
at the time. The images were painted from behind and protected by extremely thin
paper. When lit from the front, the image appeared black and white. When lit from
behind, it appeared in color. Because they were photographed for stereoscope, they
are also visible in 3-D.
22
What did they depict?
The great majority of the images were realized by two French model makers,
Adolphe Hennetier and Louis Habert. Both men began by initially representing
religious subjects then, very quickly, the images took on a more rebellious character. But the Diabloramas served not only to criticize the regime, they also made
reference to artists and events of the period.
DEAD OR ALIVE
Monsters and marvels began to crowd together in the curio
cabinets of the Renaissance, and their mineral, fossil, and other
“antique” companions were soon joined by the first preserved
animals. The immortalized animals gradually became a tool for
scientific study, observation, and research. Taxidermy was born
and its development is entwined with that of the Paris Museum
of Natural History. Four hundred years of history have witnessed
the refinement of taxidermic techniques, the expansion of specimen collections, and the transformation of the museums’
approach. Jack Thiney’s richly documented texts are amply
illustrated by Jacques Vekemans’ edgy, contemporary photography, which cleverly breathes life into his subjects, and keeps
them from ever seeming dull or dusty.

The author of perennially celebrated bons mots, icon
of the worldly literary life from London to Paris and the
USA, a poet, storyteller, essayist, and the author of the
instant and enduring literary classic The Portrait of Dorian
Gray… Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) enjoyed glory, success,
and the recognition of his peers, until the unmasking of
his sexuality—forbidden at the time—led him to prison,
exile, and social disgrace.
This work is dedicated to the memory of Oscar Wilde, the
suffering poet whose poignant and tragic fate fascinates
us to this day. Daniel Salvatore Schiffer is a specialist on
Oscar Wilde, and draws for us a portrait of a great artist in
all its contrasts. Having played a major role in the artistic
and moral battles of the Victorian era, Wilde’s complex
body of work continues to enlighten readers today.

To understand how the human brain works: such is the ambition of the new permanent
exhibit opening 16 September 2014 at the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie (Paris).
This companion volume was written by a team of senior scientists under the direction
of Stanislas Dehaene, renowned neurscientist and professor at the Collège de France.
These experts clearly explain the functioning, organization, and neuronal activity of the
human body’s most complex organ. What are the phases of brain development? How
does a baby perceive its environment and learn from it? What zones of the brain are
involved in learning how to read? What role does intuition play in mastering numbers?

EXCEPTIONAL WOMEN
INTERVIEW
WITH AUDREY PULVAR
Why this title?
I am a free woman and I fight for that freedom. It didn’t come about
accidentally. Many women outside my private sphere were important to me as an adolescent, as a young woman, and as a mature
woman. They helped me to construct my identity and thus came to
mind immediately when it came time to make a list. What interested
me, in looking at what they meant to me personally, was to shed
light on a little-studied aspect of each profile by taking an approach
that differs slightly from the accepted image or prior understanding
of these women.
This book gathers twenty exceptional destinies, icons of women’s rights: committed intellectuals, tireless explorers, relentless criminals or libertine artists, they all went against the
conventions of their time, stirring the anger of the narrow-minded. From Calamity Jane to Inna
Shevnchenko (Femen), Nancy Cunard, Simone de Beauvoir or Angela Davis, these scandalous
women revealed to be, years later, real pioneers of the changes of society. They took the risk of
breaking free, and found themselves writing history.
“The portraits of these women are like a
puzzle that comes together to form the
person I am today.”
What do you have in common with them?
A love of books, literature, and reading, in particular. For them,
their encounter with reading happened very early and was salvific.
Another aspect in common is what Jeanette Winterson calls this
painful and unbearable feeling of not being in one’s place, of never
finding it. These women were all, at a one point or another—often
during childhood—overwhelmed by this feeling and they decided
to take control of their lives, to find their place, and make a place
for themselves.
25
Is that your definition of feminism?
My saying isn’t: ‘You aren’t born a woman, you become one’ but
rather ‘One isn’t born a feminist, but you have no other choice but
to become one.’ Being a feminist isn’t about being at war with the
other half of humanity or constantly seeking vindication, it’s just
creating, finding, and occupying this celebrated place, the one at
the heart of Jeanette Winterson’s work. It’s something inalienable
and very meaningful.
Has one of these women been especially important
to you?
Certain of them have been particularly important to me, such as Toni
Morrison, Joyce Carol Oates, Karen Blixen or Camille Claudel, but
everyone in the book has truly counted for me at a given time in
my life. The portraits of these women are like a puzzle that comes
together to form the person I am today.

INTERVIEW
WITH PIERRE LESCURE
Why a book about advertisements
and brands?
I’ve always been crazy about advertising. Marcel BleusteinBlanchet, who founded Publicis in 1926, said that the
advertisement should be developed. After the war, it
became the advertising campaign. I was born in 1945.
I’m a contemporary of the advertising boom. And this
history I grew up with also speaks to subsequent generations because of brand longevity.
You cover thirty years of ad campaigns,
from 1940 to 1969
The book presents documents that are enormously creative
and diverse. There are posters by Hervé Morvan, Raymond
Savignac, René Gruau, as well as Cassandre, who are the
masters of poster ads, and whose creations are now part of
French cultural heritage.
Has advertising evolved a lot?

THE GOLDEN AGE
OF ADVERTISING
Brands and Cult Advertising,
1940-1960
Advertising is a part of our daily environment from the time we are children. Who hasn’t memorized a slogan, a logo, an image or emblem of a brand? Media specialist Pierre Lescure presents
the golden age of advertising. He offers up a panorama of ads from 1940s through the 1960s,
a time that witnessed a parade of talented illustrators: Raymond Savignac, Cassandre, Bernard
Villemot, Hervé Morvan, and more. Classified by theme—household equipment, food, fashion,
beauty, transportation and leisure activities—these ads present an image of French society of
the era. Through them, a chapter of our collective history takes shape.

You can follow the evolution of graphics and slogans
through the book’s four main themes. Certain ads are outof-date today, others such as Cassandre’s famous “Dubo,
Dubon, Dubonnet”, are magnificent. I also adore logos.
There’s nothing more beautiful than a logo that lives
forever. Canal+ will soon celebrate its thirtieth anniversary and its logo is extremely pure. As if by accident, the
brands with the simplest, unchanging, most solid logos
have lasted. The LU logo hasn’t changed in fifty years.
Certain ads you feature would
no longer be possible today
Exactly. Although society has become both extremely
permissive and extremely creative, certain ads, such as
Banania’s with the two bananas, wouldn’t fly today.
What do you like to see in an advertisement?
I like advertising that doesn’t overwhelm us, that surprises
us, that informs us, that makes me say to myself ‘That’s a
beautiful idea.’ This was already true in the 1950s.
“I like advertising that doesn’t
overwhelm us, that surprises

BEHIND THE SCENES
OF INFOGRAPHIC CREATION
We have entered the period of Big Data, where huge amounts of information can be gathered and processed with ever greater speeds, where algorithms have become so refined
that they can predict behavior and tell us what they want. From the political charts of The
New York Times to gadget instruction manuals, from creating a narrative out of complex
process or spaces to mapping physical fitness, visualizing data is one of the preoccupations of our day. Presenting work by seventy-three of the world’s most innovative information-graphic designers, this is the first book to get behind the finished image, to reveal
how a stack of number could be transformed into a beautiful image rich with meaning
and explanation.

BETWEEN ART
AND DESIGN
Between work of art and consumer product, the role of the everyday object
is a constant subject of inquiry for Robert Stadler, adept at blurring the
boundary between art and design. His creations, drawn from private and
public collections, are grouped and displayed here in a rich iconography of
more than 400 photos and drawings, commented by the designer himself
or by artists, art critics, architects, designers, museum directors, and more.
A stroll along the boundary between preciosity and humility, between the
serious and the absurd.

THE BIBLE ON FRENCH CINEMA
In this special take on French cinema—from the the
Lumière brothers’ invention to the recent awards
garnered at Cannes and Hollywood—this insightful
stroll through 130 films does more than give
homage to France’s greatest filmmakers.
Here, Jean-Luc Douin recounts the evolution of an art, from the silent
screen to the digital revolution, not forgetting the birth of aesthetic
movements such as “poetic realism” and “the New Wave”, which
continue to influence filmmakers around the world. The itinerary
he offers us, illustrated with over 400 documents, is designed to do
more than please the impassioned French movie buff—it invites us
to explore the way in which cinema takes into account a country’s
history, culture, and mores, while honoring its most mythic actors
and gifted technicians.

incremental overture, whose goal is, above all, to whet the viewer’s appetite and make one
hungry for more. Its goal is not to present a ranking of the best movies, nor, in fact, of the
best title sequences – rather, the adjective “greatest”, embodying beauty and style, feels more
appropriate here.

INTERVIEW
WITH ROSALIE VARDA-DEMY
How did the inspiration for this book come about?
After Jacques Demy’s death in 1990 my mother, Agnès
Varda, undertook the restoration of his films— at first
35mm and now digitally—in order to have DCP (digital
cinema process) copies that could be projected in theatres equipped with this new standard. The exposition “The
Enchanted World of Jacques Demy” held at La Cinémathèque française in 2013 allowed us to finance the digital
restoration of all his films. We were able to display a lot of
archival material, but I felt there were many original documents and photographs that deserved to be brought to the
public eye. This is what sparked the idea for writing a book
about the film Donkey Skin.
How is the book laid out?
I wrote it ‘four-handed’ with author and attorney Emmanuel
Pierrat. We wanted a book that would take the reader on an
entertaining stroll through the world of Donkey Skin. It’s
organized around seven themes. Naturally, these include
the movie itself, and the original fairy tale, but the book
also covers the universe of stage director Jacques Demy:
what he liked in terms of painting, sculpture, photography,
and music at the time he wrote the film adaptation—all of
which influenced the film’s aesthetic. And on a more personal note, I provide anecdotes and recollections of the
filming, which took place in the summer of 1970.

The reader may leisurely peruse a song

set design, characters, themes, and see
the sublime princess, played by Catherine
Deneuve, in her fairy-tale dresses: one the
color of the weather, one the colour of the
moon, one the colour of the sun. Last but
not least, readers will enjoy the full text of
the original story in verse by Charles Perrault, first published in 1694. With contributions by Catherine Deneuve, Jacques Perrin,
Michel Legrand, Jim Leon (set design),
Agostino Pace (costumes), Agnès Varda,
Jacques Demy (of course!) and anecdote by
Rosalie Varda-Demy who experienced the
filming of the movie when she was a teen.

Leon showing the stables of the Blue Kingdom—excerpts
of the original score including the famous “Recipe for a love
cake”. And of course, discovering and rediscovering Catherine Deneuve in this timeless princess role.
Physically as well, the book captures all the
magic and fantasy of the film.
Indeed, it’s a lavish work in both form and content. Each
chapter opens with a different color—obviously we used
the emblematic fairy tale colors silver and gold, along with
blue, red, etc. Each chapter opens with a passage from Perrault’s tale, in verse, each printed on bible paper in a distinct
format, and each song is enclosed on vellum. We’re hopeful that these sophisticated touches will bring all the magic
of the movie and story to the reader.

EXPATRIATE PORTRAITS
Who hasn’t imagined moving to another country?
For six months, a year, perhaps
even the rest of one’s life?
The French are increasingly packing their bags to try
their luck abroad. This book follows the path of men
and women who’ve dared to make the leap. Whether as
a family, solo, or with their mate, their motivations vary:
discover a different country, learn a foreign language,
launch a project, revitalize their career, or start from
scratch… Rich and varied experiences show us the
different faces of expatriation today, along with a useful
bonus: a practical guide that provides answers to the initial questions faced by each participant.

“The women
I met during
those twenty-five
years of wandering
came to me”
Véronique Durruty
Véronique Durruty has travelled the world for more than 25 years. On each voyage, she photographs,
sketches, and tells her story. Today, she looks back at the women whose paths she crossed, those
she saw, heard, and admired. She met storytellers, mothers, queenly shepherdesses, barefoot nuns
with shaved heads and pink robes, Inuit priestesses, a Chitral princess, Bangladeshi prostitutes, monoï
makers in the Marquesas Islands, dancers from near and far… She shared their lives in the space of
a few moments or a few weeks, their suffering and their laughter forever entwined. So many dreams
gathered together, portrayed in dabs of text, collages, drawings, and photographs.

THE CONTINENT ISLAND
Lush tropical forests drenched
in rain, red sand deserts,
sandstone monoliths, extreme
aridity in the heart of a continent
dotted with oases, turquoise
lagoons, never-ending snow…
Australia’s infinite variety of landscapes,
along with its amazing diversity of flora and
fauna, are captured by Olivier Grunewald’s
lenses. In her texts, Bernadette Gilbertas
also reminds us of the difficult coexistence between a multi-millennial aboriginal
culture and a booming economy. Landscapes, untouched since the dawn of time, are
threatened by an intensive industrialisation
that is destroying vast forests and the world’s
most exquisite barrier reefs are exposed to
constantly increasing maritime traffic…

CONTEMPORARY
CREATIONS
IN LANDSCAPING
HUNTING
Thirteen private gardens, inaccessible to the public and which have
never – or nearly never – been featured in any publication, and who were
created by famous landscapers: Louis Benech, Fernando Caruncho,
Pascal Cribier, Jinny Blom, Dominique Lafourcade, Vladimir Sitta…
Whether located in France, United States, Australia or New Zealand,
these gardens offer dizzying horticultural and conceptual diversity. They
were born from a desire – their owner’s desire. They are the fruit of a
vision, a landscape architect’s vision. Each garden’s designer reflects on
the steps that went into bringing the garden to life. A creative process
splendidly illustrated by Alain Le Toquin.
THE ORCHID
46
Discovered amidst the lush exuberance of distant jungles
by intrepid adventurers, the extravagant forms and heady
perfumes of the orchid sparked a veritable mania for
this strange plant in 19th century Europe. As symbols of
wealth and prestige, orchids commanded dizzying prices
from millionaire collectors at the London auction houses.
This work showcases the adventures of the great orchid
hunters, the first impassioned explorers who travelled
the ends of the earth hunting rare species for the world’s
finest collections. Richly illustrated with period documents and contemporary photos, this book also features
a special section on the world’s top orchid collections.

INTERVIEW
WITH PHILIPPE CONTICINI
Why a book about
choux pastry?
I’d wanted to write a book about choux pastry for a long
time. In 2010 I came up with the choux-pastry bar concept
[like a sushi bar]. Having tested the concept, I knew that
it was possible to prepare choux pastry in a thousand
different ways. You can use all sorts of liquids (milk,
bouillon, fruit juice, etc.), seasonings, and flours—chestnut, rice, buckwheat, walnut, cornmeal, or potato starch.
And all cooking methods are possible. As soon as you
begin thinking outside the box, the range of possibilities
is limitless!
So what does the book
give us?
I present 60 recipes, but I could have gone on and on! I
slightly modified a few classics including the chouquette,
the éclair, and the salambo. The point isn’t simply to make
choux pastry and fill it, but to come up with new culinary
sensations using choux pastry as a foundation. I came
up with innovative—and unexpected—techniques to
achieve the results I wanted. Everyone knows the coconut
macaron; well I managed to create a recipe that delivers
the texture of a coconut macaron with the flavor of choux
pastry. This is the quality that makes the book original.
An unexpected combination
of flavors?
I made tiny yam wafers in choux pastry, pan-cooked with
granulated sugar. To die for! All the recipes are really easy
to make and provide new sensations—surprising but
always extremely harmonious and delicious.
The term ‘sensation’ features
prominently in the title of your book
and was also the title of your previous
book. Is this an important word for you?
Yes, it’s essential for me: it’s the pleasure of experiences
when eating, and especially the evolution of flavors in
each mouthful. That reminds me of that great scene in
the Disney film Ratatouille, when the food critic Anton
Ego tastes the ratatouille: the profusion of flavors brings
alive his childhood memory of this classic dish. I found
this film sequence very moving: it’s precisely this message that I’ve been trying to get across for more than
twenty years.

“Work with essential ingredients” this is Bertrand Larcher’s
motto, and respect for fundamental ingredients is at the heart of
his cooking style. The founder of the Breizh Café showcases this
approach in this work, gathering together more than 60 recipes
for crêpes (made with wheat flour), galettes (made with buckwheat
flour) and simple confections. He combines staple products from
Brittany with myriad seasonings, for a result that is both authentic and surprising. Traditional recipes with a twist, for exceptional
meals. A cider pairing is recommended for each recipe.

simple, friendly cooking that will please young and old alike! This is exactly what
Sylvia Gabet—the “high priestess of easy and fun gourmet cooking”—offers
up in 80 recipes perfectly suited to serving larger groups, with minimum preparation and maximum pleasure to share with guests. No-fuss, well-balanced
recipes feature fresh produce at reasonable cost, bursting with tricks and tips
for cooking quickly and efficiently, quickly and deliciously!

INTERVIEW
WITH SYLVIA GABET
Why a book dedicated to meals for larger groups?
Serving a meal for 10 or 12 comes up fairly frequently
during long weekends or vacations. Keeping this up for
any length of time requires recipes that are simple and
effective. It’s not enough to take a recipe for 4 and multiply the ingredients. It’s a matter of making a dish that is
intended for 8, 10, or 12. Everything is taken into consideration to provide best results. The quiche for 12, for
example, I make in an edged baking sheet. I updated the
crust and the filling to be exactly proportioned.
What types of recipes do you feature?
This is not a book on how to cook rice or pasta. Everyone
knows how to do that already. The concept is to provide
fresh, healthy recipes that are varied and can be made
quickly. It’s organized into 6 chapters: home-style aperitif,
meat dishes, fish, buffet dining, light lunches and dinners,
and childhood desserts. There are also themes by season
or occasion: winter around the fireplace, springtime on the
terrace, summer on the waterfront, Christmas, house party,
picnic…

I love cooking… but not spending hours in the kitchen.
I find it to be one of life’s pleasures, and I want more
people to enjoy sharing in it. I learned a number of techniques from master chefs for cooking quickly and well. It’s
become my approach to hosting meals, and it is what I’m
trying to bring across in each of my books.
THE RICHES OF
BORDEAUX
WINES
100 % new, 100 % gourmet
TERRINES
BY SOPHIE
What wine lovers very often appreciate about wine, is
not only its taste and the pleasure it provides, but also
the lifestyle that goes along with it and the values it
conveys. Considered to be the world capital of wine
civilization, Bordeaux perfectly illustrates this osmosis
between an ancestral history, an authentic lifestyle, and
the delicacy of its wines. Part guide, part documentary,
this work offers the amateur, the neophyte, and the
simply curious the keys to appreciating the best that
Bordeaux wines have to offer: discovering the winemaking châteaux, knowledge of vintage, soils, and
grape varieties, an initiation into the art of wine making,
all the way to wine tastings and the best food pairings.
For her new opus, Sophie concocted
100 new and deliciously gourmet
recipes, each designed according
to the cunning concept of the terrine.
Whether savory or sweet, these new preparations will
seduce the most demanding taste buds, from the aperitif,
to entrees, to main courses, and even for dessert! Once
again, Sophie has sprinkled each of her recipes with new
tricks and practical tips.

STEAK (R)EVOLUTION
IN SEARCH OF
THE BEST STEAKS
AROUND THE WORLD
“There is
no good steak
without
a happy cow.”
Inspired by the famous movie Mondovino, Franck Ribière and Vérane
Frédiani, the directors and producers of the documentary, went on a tour
around the world in the company of star butcher Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec in search of the best steaks. Approaching beef as an exceptional product, the book narrates in words and pictures and through reportage in
12 countries, the story of the finest terroirs, the best breeds and breeders,
butchers and restaurants, and finally the golden rules for cooking the best
steak. Last but not least: a top 10 of the restaurants where you can eat the
best steaks in the world.
Steak (R)evolution is the companion
volume to the documentary which will be
released in theaters in autumn 2014

INTERVIEW WITH FRANCK RIBIÈRE
AND VÉRANE FRÉDIANI
Why a book about meat, and more particularly, steak?
Your goal?
FR : I’m from a family of livestock farmers, meat has always held a key place
in my life, and I always thought that we ate the best meat in the world at
my house. One day, in New York, I ate a steak that had nothing to do with
what I knew, and I wanted to discover why there was such a difference. By
travelling, I met passionate people and witnessed a revolution.
FR : Our goal was to find where one can eat the best meat in the world, but
also to question ourselves regarding our carnivorous, gourmet nature.
VF : the idea of this documentary and the book is to put pleasure back at the
center of things and to inspire consumers to modify their behavior. The idea
is to eat less meat, but the best meat, and to accept paying a higher price for
it, for the sake of our pleasure as well as for our health.
What revolution?
There is a community of people who are bringing meat back to the center
of the dining experience with a genuine spirit of ecology and a constant
search for pleasure.
Who are these people?
VF : For three years, we traveled the world in search of the best breeders,
butchers, and restaurant proprietors. The movie, like the book, is a gallery of
colourful characters: from the modern cowboy and his 20 000 animals to the
demanding French cook with his three stars, from the Japanese breeder who
lovingly massages his cattle with beer, to the Argentine gaucho who happily
gets lost in the Pampas. We spent unforgettable moments with people proud
of their land and their region, their animals, and their cooking.
What is the best beef in the world?
FR : The best beef of the world is everywhere. But our Number One is
a Spanish breeder who produces a very particular meat. He chooses his
animals according to their character because he works on the principle that
happy animals produce good meat. They especially produce a lot of fat,
which allows the meat to mature and thus yield impressive results. There is
no good steak without a happy cow.
And the best French steak?
VF : In several places, but France is lagging behind. The best in France is
to be found at the Maison Bras, a three-star restaurant in Laguiole. Among
our Top Ten, it is in sixth position.

INTERVIEW
WITH CARRIE SOLOMON
CULINARY
How did the idea for this book come about?
ROAD TRIP
I wanted to create a book about the cooking of my childhood, about my region—I’m a native of Michigan. We eat
very well there, and mostly home-cooking, because the
distances are so great from one city to another. Driving an
hour to get to a restaurant or dinner at a friend’s place is
perfectly normal!
Is there an interest in American cooking
right now?
There is a craze in France for American cooking. Hamburgers are popular, and some are truly delicious. It is a sign
of the times! I also notice it in the temporary restaurants I
set up in Paris and in Trouville, where I offer breakfasts and
brunches. There are sincere amateurs of American cooking.
Is this American cuisine without the clichés?
North American cooking is rich and complex: beyond the
burgers, hot dogs, and cookies that everyone knows, there
is an infinity of dishes, ingredients, preparations, and especially a great wealth of regional foods. It is a healthy and
varied cuisine, with vegetables, fish, and more.
Is this book designed to be a gourmet road trip?
I not only wanted to share my recipes—and those of my
family and my friends—but also to make it possible to
discover the great diversity of American cooking, from the
Caesar salad of California to the lime pie of the Florida Keys.
It is a delicious tour of the United States.
ACROSS THE USA
Here you will find the iconic classics (burgers, sandwiches, and hot-dogs) along with
regional specialities: beer-lover’s broccoli-cheese soup (Wisconsin), clam chowder
(Massachusetts), country-fair corndogs (Minnesota), San Franciscan Cioppino (a fish,
chorizo, and tomatoe stew; California), cheesecake (New York), and more. Carrie brings
to life 80 of her favourite recipes and opens the door on her native country: family stories,
advice, tips…Like a road trip along the open highway, Carrie Solomon takes you on a
tour of the American countryside: photographs, illustrations, and more will fill your head
with stars (and stripes!).

Together, they cross the country in search of traditional family recipes, prepared by the most
modest inhabitants, and other, more creative recipes, those of the riads and palaces, prepared
by internationally renowned chefs. The authors have captured the quintessence of these personal experiences, restoring the vibrant color palette of the local markets, the street food, the
breathtaking palaces, and especially their recipes, skillfully accommodating sun-drenched
fruits and vegetables, rare and fragrant spices, delicate fish, and delicious meats.

EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES
An inquiry
into the frontiers of memory
Certain children report having been someone else before they were born. Sometimes, the details they report can be verified, and the stories appear quite genuine.
Adults believe they recover memories of past lives during therapy. Curiously, the
long-term symptoms they’d been suffering disappear after the revelation of these
‘memories’. How are we to make sense of this?
Most cultures world-wide speak of the possibility of rebirth life after life, and
sometimes describe in great detail the steps along the path the soul follows from
death to rebirth. Is the West too quick to dismiss a concept that may be universal?
Today, it finds itself confronted by this question in spite of itself.

An inquiry
into the boundaries of the fantastical
26
Experiences along the borders of reality experienced by children are a relatively
recent subject of research. Contemporary scientific studies reveal that while
only 2% of adults perceive voices or have visions, somewhere between 10%
and 15% of children do, for whom such voices and apparitions tend not to be
problematic. Contacts with the dead, communications with non-human forms of
consciousness, out-of-body experiences (sought or inflicted), memories of past
lives, mystical experiences, friends that only they can see or understand…
A investigation including first-hand accounts, news stories, and children’s
accounts, as well as suggestions on how best to guide children and help them to
distinguish between both realities.

manifestation of one’s innate resources. It builds
gradually through self-knowledge and working
with inner processes: training the mind, breathwork, and energy management. Our well-being,
