It starts slow. One cell feels the stimuli and awakes. The feeling
makes other cells around it to respond. It begins to spread across
the body, getting more and more intense. Suddenly, every inch is
light up, reacting to every touch. All the senses are on. Everything
is blossoming, when -oh- the explosion arrives. The climax is so
intense it forces everything to shut down. For a second, the body
goes from ecstasy to death.

Petite Mort is that brief moment when extreme pleasure and death
meet. For an instant, time and space are lost, consciousness
disappears, and the pulsing feeling turns into transcendence.

Petite Mort shows various little deaths. They portray intimate
moments of erotism and even suffering. In a candid way, these
images reveal how pleasure can reach a maximum peak through
different means and senses.

It is an exploration of what it means to live and die. And live again.
