Les blasons du corps féminin (2000-02)

French “Blasons” were a type of early sixteenth century poetic verse that created portraits or descriptions. Published as early as 1550, a collection of these poetic “blasons” described and celebrated both the visible and secret (concealed) attributes of women. Each of the works set to music speaks of a precise, explicit part of the body, like a secular love poem that is close in spirit to the erotic chansons of composers such as Clément Janequin.
