Petra Collins et Alexa Demie ont fait équipe pour une réinvention contemporaine d’un livre de contes de fées avec des histoires courtes illustrées et érotiques.
Alexa Demie se mue en elfe, en sirène, en ange déchu, en fée, en sorcière, ou encore en figure mythologique celtique… Non, il ne s’agit pas d’un épisode inédit d’Euphoria mais du nouveau livre de la photographe Petra Collins. Divulguées en septembre 2020, certaines images de la collaboration entre la photographe et l’actrice avait déjà conquis les fans. Publié par la fameuse maison d’édition Rizzoli et intitulé Fairy Tales, le livre de photos et de textes, écrits par l’actrice et la photographe, se parcourt comme un recueil de nouvelles érotiques et fantastiques.
L’esthétique 90’s propre à Petra Collins – lumière douce, couleurs orangées, décor rétro – colle parfaitement aux récits de ces contes féeriques revisités par les deux jeunes femmes. Elles se sont inspirées des grands classiques, dont les frères Grimm, Charles Perrault et Hans Christian Andersen, et les ont réinterprétés avec un female gaze contemporain bordant de désir autant que de rêves…
“Fairy Tales” de Petra Collins et Alexa Demie, en vente en ligne à partir du 5 octobre 2021, 38€.

![The intersection of persona, product, propaganda, and profit. In 2021 is the brand Supreme any different than the brand GAGOSIAN? No. They are both strategic entities focused on valuations, cultural and capital. Each bestow status on their investors. What I am fascinated by is that they both trade in Dead Data. I find no intellectual difference between a Supreme x John Woo collaboration as GAGOSIAN exhibiting Harmony Korine’s paintings. In each case the two of them are basing the products social influence and exchange value on established [Dead] [Data] information. Both are DOA. Each of the artists and brands chosen for the first exhibition STUPID and the second DROPS are attempting an impossible narrative, to raise dead informational bits. What I find Intellectually horrifying is the scale of the audience and the financial market for this morbid display. The culturally transgressive destroys established values. The works in STUPID and DROPS are intellectual crimes in that they present what has already lost all meaning and value and the propaganda creates an altogether false meta-value. The transgressive preserves creative innocence by exposing the inherent corruption of the status quo.
