- Summary
- "Tom is American. He lives by himself. TV keeps him busy. In 1978, he buys a polaroid camera and spends his days photographing the women who inhabit his TV screen. Moreover, he carefully writes on each print the date it appeared and captions the image. Over 4 years, Tom assembles a silver harem of 993 polaroids arranged in 12 albums, all titled My Tv girls. Following the disappearance of its author, this lot was put up for sale on Ebay together with other belongings. Simultaneously interested by this story of appropriation and fascinated by Tom's erotic gaze, I decide to buy these images. I then study them and recreate their incantatory dimension in a book, ten years later."--Sébastien Girard.
