Published by Contrejour in 2015, *Ceci n’est pas une fleur* announces its central tension before the book is opened. The French title—“This is not a flower”—names an object only to withdraw that identification. It places the photographic image in a field of uncertainty, where a flower may be a subject, a sign, or an occasion to consider the distance between a thing and its representation. The contradiction gives the book a conceptual frame without resolving it in advance.

Clark and Pougnaud are credited jointly on the cover, making the publication legible as a collaborative work rather than a conventionally attributed single-author monograph. The French–English bilingual edition extends that concern with naming across two languages. Issued as a 26 × 20 cm hardcover of approximately 110 pages, it has the scale of a focused photographic study: substantial enough to sustain an argument, yet compact enough for close, repeated reading. Its identity rests not on supplementary claims but on the alignment of title, shared credit, language, and book form.

The volume also appeared in a 2016 Photobook Exhibition listing, placing it within a public photobook context soon after publication. For collectors, that documented setting is relevant less as a badge of status than as evidence of how the work circulated: as a photobook intended to be considered alongside other contemporary publications. *Ceci n’est pas une fleur* deserves attention for the precision of its premise and for the way its bibliographic structure reinforces it. The bilingual text, collaborative attribution, and deliberately paradoxical title make the book a considered object for collections concerned with photographic representation, artist collaboration, and the photobook as an editorial form.
