(Signed) Vague de rêve by Maria Baoli

An artist book by Maria Baoli, a Spanish photographer living in Belgium.

The work is comprised of photographs taken over the past three years, cyanotypes, collages and poetry.

"With each turn of the page, this work takes us away to the 'Wave of Dreams'. It is the sensation of swaying with the current, of parts of our bodies being stretched by the majesty of nature in every moment, our lips transformed into flowers of suggestive beauty, our bellies torn apart by twisting roots. The animals never try to escape the waves. For example, in the portrait of an elephant, lying majestically on a flagstone bathed in sunlight, it is captured immersed in the joy of bathing. The scene is the height of melancholy, and its trunk wrapped around its body seems like the most reassuring place in the universe." Véronique Bouillez

Out of print, first edition. Signed by the author.
