"Witkin's photographs seem to move in a universe of perversity and sacrilege, touching upon all that is taboo, forbidden, hallowed. They draw from the cauldron of life and death, of normality and difference, and make these interchangeable, subjecting the imager to a kind of diabolical surgery where sacred and profane, pain and pleasure, masculine and feminine are dissolved and transformed, intertwining with one another and creating a forbidden hybrid" (author).
Dustjacket lightly rubbed with minorwear along edges. Book block with light age-toning in margins not affecting images. DJ, binding and interior in overall very good condition. vg. Item #50120
