<div>An unbridled celebration of a life beyond guilt and expiation<br>As sweet as raspberry ripple, as tempting as popcorn. Welcome to the seductive pictures of Pierre et Gilles. Again and again they show people in kitschy scenarios against a background of flowers and hearts. When they are not snapping portraits of the well-known - most of whom are close friends like Marc Almond or Nina Hagen - and not-so-known, they photograph themselves. <p>Bizarre, and full of obscure significance, the photographs are reminiscent of stills from film melodramas.They are always colourful and presented with beguiling polish. They plunder the repertoire of historical presentation as though they were leafing through a collection of fabrics, and assume identities as though they were part of a mail-order catalogue. <p>Now the latest and most comprehensive collection of the works of these two photographers can be presented to the public - in a format designed by the artists themselves. In matt skin-colour, with a golden edging, the embossed cover is reminiscent of a quilted counterpane and promises a cuddly experience within. Once between the covers one can frolic at will in a soft, artificial world of pictures. This saccharine collection of kitsch encompasses all aspects of homosexuality and offers them in an appetising form even to those who abhor them. A straight challenge is issued to all readers to participate - at least with their eyes - in this unbridled celebration of a life beyond guilt and expiation.</p></p></div>

On s'est rencontrés dans une fête à Paris. Pierre était photographe, Gilles était peintre ; nous nous aimions et sommes devenus inséparables. On s'apportait mutuellement, on était différents et complémentaires. On s'entendait tellement bien que petit à petit nos deux travaux se sont mélangés pour n'en faire qu'un.Depuis 1976, Pierre et Gilles sont devenus une signature à part entière. Leur œuvre, qui se situe à mi-chemin entre peinture et photographie, offre une réalité retouchée selon leur sensibilité et leurs fantasmes, où un pur style kitsch côtoie les thèmes du sexe et de la religion. Décors féeriques, lumières artificielles et couleurs saturées mettent en valeur les poses provocatrices, les corps lisses et les visages idéalisés de leurs modèles. Nina Hagen, Catherine Deneuve, Khaled, Tilda Swinton, Rupert Everett ou Jean-Paul Gaultier se sont, entre autres, prêtés au jeu de ces images suspendues dans l'espace et dans le temps. Extrêmement illustré, cet ouvrage présente l'œuvre complète (de 1976 à 1996) de ces artistes hors normes. --Sandrine Fillipetti
