Twelve Body Doubles

“There’s something deeply unsettling about the fact that Brice Dellsperger has spirited Laura Palmer away and replaced her with a doppelganger.”—Evan MoffittSince 1995, the French artist Brice Dellsperger (born in 1972 in Cannes) has been working on remakes of cult film sequences, which he has collected under the generic title "Body Double." The doubling of the actor or actress playing all the characters, both female and male, involves cross-dressing and raises questions about gender, originality and artifice. This book covers a decade and brings together video stills from his twelve most recent films, Body Double 29 (2013) to Body Double 40 (2024), with texts by Evan Moffitt and Rebekka Seubert and views of his latest exhibitions. The publication has been supported by agnès b., Air de Paris, CAC – la synagogue de Delme, CAC – Passages, Fondation d’entreprise Pernod Ricard, and Mrac Occitanie.
