Lionel Bayol-Thémines immerges the reader in the giddy world of plastic surgery, through a serie of photographies where reporting and science-fiction mix blurrily. His artistic choices bring up the contemporary preoccupations around genetic transformation and cloning. Included in the book is a DVD featuring images of the operation block in which colorful post-prod effects defuse the brutal realism. The flow of images is accompanied by an electro-acoustic music composed for the occasion.
