Sozial Romantismus

Véronique Bourgoin

A photographer’s lens captures some strange shapes. In the secret suburbs the dream is invaded by stratagems. The white calves of Mora Linien play ‘grandmother’s footsteps’ on the lawn. A horse, red with embarrasement watches the television. A man tries in vain to tear off a mask of a cockerel from his face. Meanwhile, romantic icônes wander through a town of sleep walkers. A text written by M. Suzuki and Rototo groups together a collection of disconcerting titles that accompany the photographs by Véronique Bourgoin. A booklet, printed separately, includes the English and German translations. This book is co-edited with Fotohof and was printed at the Rema Print press in Vienna, in 2003.
