Rediscover through Sylvains photographs, the spell binding natural sensuality of the Tahiti women and their beautiful enchanting island. Reminiscent of those who appeared beside Marlon Brando in 'Mutiny on the Bounty'. - 'Tahiti' follows in the footsteps of Madagascar, Tahiti, Tattoos and Equator. - This photographic work presented for the first time since his death,shows us his thoughts of Tahiti, at a time when it was almost unknown and confused with Hahiti or some other island, a vague literary association with Jean-Jaques Rousseau and his' Bon Sauvage' that was all. - Photographs that have a somewhat antiquated charm displaying that living assumes priority before anything else.
