Guy Bourdin's legacy is a remarkable one. A complex, elusive personality, he preferred not to comment on his motivations or on specific images. If he spoke at all of his work, it was in oblique terms. Everything he sought to express was there in the photographs, though his pictorial universe, whether observational or constructed, tends to question rather than seek resolution before the inherent mystery of our existence and before the perceptual phenomena encountered in his translation of experience into image. Today, over a quarter of a century since his death, his photographs continue to intrigue and inspire; and it is precisely their dimension of dislocation and provocation – as with the present works that toy with the idea of the image within the image – that ensures their lasting hold on our imaginations.
