Atwood spent every night for a year photographing prostitutes in a Paris brothel where the women specialized in masochistic clients. The result is this book, her first, published in Germany in 1980. Black-and-white photos reminiscent of Brassaï evoke the magic atmosphere of Paris by night, where "ladies dressed like movie queens whisper at the men who pass..." But the book is more than this: it is an intimate portrait of the "daily nightlife" of a unique group of women. Preface by the author.
