Already in the 1970s Michel Comte worked for Bergdorf Goodman in New York on their impressive window displays. This was an early collaboration with Andy Warhol, and marked a time when Comte discovered the bold impact simple yet exquisitely executed decorative schemes could have on passersby. Since these opportune beginnings, he has created numerous such projects, mostly incorporating natural elements?the full bounty of flora. Garden of Beauty. Combining Worlds with Flowers explores Comte?s recent use of flowers to wrap buildings in Stuttgart and Düsseldorf for the luxury retailer Breuninger. Together with art director Jens Remes, Comte creates an entirely new retail environment and branding aesthetic

This very limited edition presents famed photographer Michel Comte's erotically charged images of Japanese geisha Aiko T., capturing her transformation from luminous serenity to possessed Dionysian abandon. Fully aware that Comte's photographs would eventually come to public view, her sexual act becomes a betrayal of Asian women as passive, obedient, and timid creatures who dare not exercise control over their sexuality and a symbolic protest against Japanese patriarchy. Through Comte's photographs, the guarded and vieled aura of the geisha is revealed and destroyed, consequently rupturing traditional boundaries and the geisha burden of all Japanese women. Printed on the finest Monadnock paper, bound in linen, and slipcased, this extraordinary 56 duotone sequence is strictly limited to 500 books, signed and numbered by Michel Comte.
