Dessins Erotiques – Bertrand

Dessins Erotiques II (1971) – Bertrand

 

While Bertrand is not exactly canonical to me (too Giger-esque for my tastes), he was published by Eric Losfeld (and anything published by Losfeld is of interest to me). Besides, I quite like the grotesque eroticism on the cover above. Tip of the hat to John Coulthart, who appears to be new to me. I’ll try to find more on Bertrand and Hubert Juin, who wrote the text to this volume.

Here is the first series of Dessins Erotiques

Dessins Erotiques (1969) – Bertrand

This one has an introduction by cinema critic Raymond Borde.

The Act of Seeing with One’s Own Eyes

The Act of Seeing with One’s Own Eyes is a 1971 American film by experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage. The film focuses on the relations between documentary and fantasy in what may be called a limit experience. The film consists of a series of autopsies in a Pittsburgh morgue and have been described as hard to watch.
