Thanks to his command of chemical processes, he is able to render and magnify the colors of the world of plants. The onion holds a special place in his repertoire, and he has studied it obsessively for half a century. This book brings together nearly one hundred of his bulb portraits, offering the public a chance to discover one of the greatest adventures in the history of photography. The images are complemented by several essays, including one by art historian Michel Poivert on the theme of obsession, as well as an interview with the artist that sheds light on his singular passion.
