Abstract: Book Description: This striking artists' book uses the most overexposed photos of the moment's most overexposed celebrities heading for rehab - Paris, Britney and Pete (last names unnecessary) - and transforms them into eye-popping, black-and-white drawings superimposed with the breathless texts beloved by tabloids and fan mags. Through the iconography of these pictures, artists Ben Laloua and Didier Pascal raise essential questions about the priorities of today's mass media, and the power and influence it wields over us. Whoever thinks that the media offers us a window on the world, the artists imply, has lost his grip on reality. In an extremely limited edition, this book is truly a collector's treasure.
