The work challenges bourgeois conventions, adopting the format of a picture book with glossy, stiff-card pages. Printed in vibrant colours, the raster images depict provocative scenes whose endless repetitions merge into a mass ornament of sexual acts. These Pop Art-inspired illustrations emphasise the erotic power of the imagery while highlighting Bayrle’s critical perspective on societal norms.
