Guy Bourdin altered the grasp of reality through the art of photography by bringing about dreamlike twists to the subjects of his images. A significant media to his work, reflective surfaces play with the nature of what is pictured.
"Femme Multiple (Unfolding Nude)" portrays a dreamlike form having five incomplete female bodies whose genitalia, faces and bellies together compose an unfolding creature. While this composite creature is not sensually provocative, it is mildly disturbing.
By sweeping away standards of beauty, "Femme Multiple (Unfolding Nude)" contributes to Bourdin's bizarre yet attractive visual photographic vocabulary.
