Le Fil Rouge

€172.00
The Red Thread. Photos and text by Sarah Moon. DVD of film version included. Text in French and English, dvd also in Japanese. Signed.
Presents the artist's re-interpretation of Charles Perrault's "Bluebeard's Castle". This marks Sarah Moon's second homage to the great storyteller, whose tales are ultimately about our deepest fears (her first, "Little Red Riding Hood", is a modern photography classic). Fairy tales have been a major source of inspiration for Sarah Moon throughout her career, and have resulted in some of the most eerily, disturbingly, and tragically beautiful photography books of our time. Moon also produced and directed a film version for this particular re-interpretation. "Le Fil Rouge" revisits the terrifying Bluebeard tale, a re-telling in Medieval terms of nothing less than the Biblical fable of Adam and Eve: The loss of Innocence, The danger of Knowledge, and the fatal risk of defying God-The-Father. A "must-have" title for Sarah Moon collectors.
