Synopsis
Bodies take on other shapes, dissolve, some limbs are missing, and other ones make their own doubles. Male and female sexes converge to androgynous creatures. Female fantasies and male fears, creation and eroticism: these are the central themes of the exhibition on Hans Bellmer and Louise Bourgeois, and the similarities between these two artists. Catalogue of a traveling exhibition (Berlin, The Hague) with contributions by Elfriede Jelinek and Henry Miller.

From the Inside Flap
The sexually charged works of Louise Bourgeois and Hans Bellmer reveal remarkable parallels, even though the artists never actually met. Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) skeptically examined the traditional image of women, Hans Bellmer (1902-1975) created in the puppet an idea woman in which all his desires and fantasies are reflected.
