Desiree Dolron: Exaltation-Gaze-Xteriors takes its title from three series by the photographer, presented together rather than as separate episodes. Editions Xavier Barral issued the book with the Institut néerlandais in 2006; it runs 123 pages and is a French-language publication. The artists’s subjects, as catalogued, move from the human figure and portrait photography toward documentary photography, Surrealism, and self-mutilation in art. That range is the point: the pictures neither report nor fully stage their sitters, and the book arranges them so the tension stays visible. Published material on Dolron notes that her work has drawn both admirers and detractors; the argument implicit in the volume is that the three series belong to one another, and Haworth-Booth and Assouline contribute texts that give the images a discursive frame rather than leaving them to speak alone. For a collector, the case for the book rests on structure and collaboration rather than on scarcity: a compact, French-language edition from a photography-focused publisher, gathering three bodies of work at a moment when they can be read against each other.
