Guy Bourdin: A Message for You ..by Guy Bourdin, Nicolle Meyer
The late 1970s, recognized as the highest note in Bourdiní s career, are the focal point of this two-volume edition. Volume I is dedicated to the legendary, nearly forgotten images he made with Nicolle Meyer as his model. Meyer appeared in over 30 of his famous campaigns for Charles Jourdan and in iconic French Vogue editorials. Volume II is a road trip through Bourdinís visual landscape, a collage of images mapping his artistic search and vision. Texts, Polaroids, poems, sketches and contact sheets unfold in time with Nicolle Meyerís memories, and inscribe moments of Bourdinís working process that would otherwise be lost. Glamourous!
