"This richly illustrated book documents the 1973-75 photographic work of Greek-born American artist Lucas Samaras. The PHOTO-TRANSFORMATIONS made with the Polaroid SX-70 camera represent the extension of his unique self-referential surrealist imagery into the medium of experimental photography. This new series of tableaux, catalogued here for the first time, demonstrates Samaras' versatility in the artistic exploration of the human condition, through an almost hallucinatory examination of himself, his environment and his fantasies." --Page 4 of cover.
