Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at Generalitat Valenciana in Spain in 1999. Presents "Mira Bernabeu". Her Classically-inspired, post-Modernist, and Conceptually-realized photography. Whatever one may think of the end result, her work is one of the most intriguing and epic approaches to the group portrait ever undertaken in our time: In her spacious and elaborate studio, she shoots her models - comprised of individuals, couples, entire families, and whole clans - dressed and, more controversially, undressed. When the latter, they are also soaked in blood, and in some of the scenarios, wear white masks that cover their heads, not just their faces. What is her point? To reflect back one of Conceptual art's fundamental subjects, the "colonial gaze", its literally bloody history as well as its continuing relevance and impact on contemporary culture and art, after all the bloodshed. An absolute "must-have" title for Mira Bernabeu collectors. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. Please note: None of the copies was widely distributed, not even in Spain. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time.
