Pierre et Gilles. Gilles et Pierre. Voici bientot trente ans que le duo fonctionne. Pierre photographie, Gilles peint sur ces images. Il n'y a plus qu'a se laisser emporter dans un univers qui ne doit rien a l'outil informatique. Un monde onirique et kitsch. Un joli petit livre. - Arte News, Bruxelles More bang for your buck! ...a fast-food, high-energy fix on the topic at hand. The New York Times Book Review
