Abstract (en)

Avedon states in the preface: "This book tracks the path of three crucial illusions in my life. The first section is about the illusion of laughter, and a young man's discovery of the fine line between hilarity and panic. The second section is about the illusion of power. The third section is about the loss of all illusions. All of the images were brought to me by the real people and events of my time. The book is constructed with pairings of photographs on facing pages, which may sometimes seem to have no relationship to each other but are all meant to be driven by their own eccentric logic".
