From the publisher: "This important volume, whose title combines Gertrude Stein's famous motto "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose," with the name of Marcel Duchamp's feminine alter ego, Rrose Sélavy, features portraits, self-portraits and photomontages in which the gender of the subject is highlighted through performance for the camera or through technical manipulation of the image. In many of the works, photography's strong aura of realism and objectivity promotes a fantasy of total gender transformation. In other pieces, the photographic representation articulates an incongruity between the posing body and its assumed costume."
