Created in the wake of the multi-awarded film Divino Inferno, devoted to the genesis of Auguste Rodin’s Gates of Hell and produced by ARTE, NOIR, La Réunion des Musées Nationaux, and QUAD, directed by Bruno Aveillan and written by Zoé Balthus, this book establishes a rare and powerful artistic dialogue between two creators: photographer and visual artist Bruno Aveillan, and contemporary artist Mircea Cantor, winner of the 2011 Marcel Duchamp Prize.
Through a play of visual and symbolic correspondences, the book brings their respective visions of Rodin’s work into resonance. Between light and matter, sacred and profane, their interpretations confront and echo one another, opening a space of reflection where sculpture becomes language and photography becomes meditation.
This poetic and singular encounter offers a profoundly contemporary reading of The Gates of Hell: a journey through myth, creation, and the inner fire of Rodin, revealed in a light that is both fascinating and timeless.
