Summer Camp
Summer Camp. Photographs and text by Bernard Faucon. Art direction by Bea Feitler. Xavier Moreau,
Forty vivid color plates of mannequins staged in surrealistic dramatic scenes with an occasional real boy mixed in. Children's games and rituals are artistically arranged down to the smallest detail. Bernard Faucon is a master magician of ambiguity. His photographic 'mise-en-scène' of children's games and rituals, like the salaciously naive narrative that accompanies them, convincingly perverts the notion of reality. For the real in Faucon's art is both the subtly delirious content of unusually memorable images and the heightened awareness of the feelings they arouse in us...freakish pleasure, irrational fear, unbridled fantasies, forbidden yearnings associated with recollections of our own youth.--from the jacket copy.
