Hardcover<\/p>\n<p>L\u00f6yly is a Finnish term for the steam that rises from icy water when poured onto burning stones, passing from a liquid to a gaseous state. The word has a double meaning. It also means ghosts. The photography book contains all Doroth\u00e9e Smith&#8217;s photographic works (125 photos colors and Blanck and white), and her installation and video works.<\/p>\n<h2>Excerpt From The Book&#8217;s Essay By Dominique Baqu\u00e9:<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Doroth\u00e9e Smith never stages scenes or tells her friends and models how to pose: with her modesty and discretion, most of them don\u2019t even realize they\u2019ve been photographed. In the L\u00f6yly series, we see a dark rock rising up and blending into the sky, undeniably bringing romantic painting to mind, along with a menacing tornadolike double cloud and chilly frozen landscapes. But also many young people seen from behind, often with tattooed bodies, daydreaming or withdrawn \u2013 somewhere else; a very pale young man with glacier eyes and raven-black hair, like a recurring apparition in the series, and the sublime face of an androgyne with a dreamy, melancholic look, lost in an inner world, with a half-closed expression and a sensual mouth open for a word or a kiss that won\u2019t come. Tired and deliciously morbid, or rather morbido (soft, gentle) since the Italian terms seems more fitting, the androgyne delicately rests a beautiful ephebian head on a velvet cushion with one arm tucked under, offered and already withdrawn, disappearing like a fleeting, desirable apparition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/76704961?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" height=\"320\" width=\"570\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/76704961\">L\u00d6YLY Dorothe\u0301e Smith &#8211; Filigranes Editions, 2013<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user18797805\">Filigranes Editions<\/a> on Vimeo.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>About Doroth\u00e9e Smith<\/h2>\n<p>Doroth\u00e9e Smith is a young French photographer and avant garde filmmaker living and working in Paris, Arles, Helsinki and Montreal.
