Bettina Rheims met Kim Harlow, a cabaret dancer and showgirl, in 1990 for the casting of her series 'Modern Lovers'. Kim was the only transgender person among the portraits of young androgynous people through whom the artist sought to convey a sense of disquiet. This meeting was also the trigger for the series 'Les Espionnes' (1991–1992), which pursued the question of trans-identity. Kim Harlow played an important role in Bettina Rheims’ work in the early 1990s, with these two series on the question of gender. This book looks back at their special relationship and offers a fresh look at the creative process, thanks to previously unpublished archives selected by the photographer.
