On September 12, she had the signature of her book at the Staley Wise gallery in N.Y. On the 27th, she has the opening of her exhibition in Paris, and on the 29th the signing of her book at L’Instant’s gallery. In November, the signature will be at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in Los Angeles! She is Stephanie Pfriender Stylander and the title of her book: The Untamed Eye. It is a very nice success of sensuality and eroticism. One thing is also great: her text at the end of the book. Here it is ! – Jean-Jacques Naudet
did i tell you the moon was full and bounced across the dark sky lighting up the bedsheets filled with pages of paper and word
did i tell you wheels turned slow leading us to nightly fire and smoke on that corner at the end of the line
did i tell you at midnight girls danced tall with streets peppered of fur and lace
did i tell you i always looked up sunday mornings in silence following the concrete hills in hours of gray fog
did i tell you there were phone booths in the middle of the city hands wrapped around newspapers and feet held by photographs
did i tell you those italian walls were covered in velvets of navy blue flowers as we practiced with gigli
did i tell you the wires are timeless as they cross under the open sea draped in that eternal scene of memory
did i tell you that the audacity of need destroyed any rules
did i tell you the junkyards were filled with delicious unknowns
did i tell you she drove me through tunnels over bridges until we reached pure genius
did i tell you doors opened and closed in a perpetual deep rhythm
did i tell you the stranger said it is like looking in a lingerie drawer
did i tell you that the only way to get around the monument was to enter the front and master the tale
did i tell you that you let me get close and i let you get closer
did i tell you she yelled and we bowed looking at that face in unison
did i tell you smoke hung from his lips in the rooms of color and dialogue
did i tell you that arms of strangers hold silver rings to get to the inside of the inside
did i tell you that the stories unfolded like honey dripping on exotic trees
did i tell you in a dark room there was generous insanity
did i tell you we painted her black and white as our fantasies changed
did i tell you because of the misuse of words pictures flooded the psyche
did i tell you i changed the story and created a new one
did i tell you i saw magic
did i tell you we walked together and saw upside down figures in dance
did i tell you that the climb was vigorous in a lush journey of nightmares and dreams
did i tell you that the curiosity of you was the curiosity of me and you
did i tell you it was uncomfortably desirable
