Beatrice Helg

With her great passion for music, architecture, the theatre and opera, Helg's photographs create monumental spaces in which sculpture, painting, installations, and most of all light are constantly interwoven. Like a window opening onto the invisible, giving glimpses of the mind, her light-filled world is weirdly beautiful, at once poetic and spiritual. You step inside and then lose your bearings, as if in a drunken stupor, and tempted to let yourself slide slowly, dangerously between blinding light and total darkness. Beatrice Helg's work ultimately explores the infinite; it is a quest for the absolute, or rather a delving into the boundless identity of an inner mystery. This book presents a selection of her photographs taken over the past twenty-five years, accompanied by a wonderful original commentary by Robert Wilson, as well as critical writings and poetry by Philippe Piguet, Serge Linares and Sylviane Dupuis.
