Écho de l'hystérie grew out of another book: the mythical Iconographie photographique de la Salpêtrière (IPS) by Claude Régnard and Désiré-Magloire Bourneville, “a narrative composed of images and words forged from a unique material: the observation of ‘crises’” - those of women considered insane, in Professor Charcot's wards.
Displacing the object into the aesthetic realm, the author creates a rich, rigorous and essential text, sheltering deeply moving portraits of women.
