BACKSTAGE DREAMS is the first monograph by Eric James Guillemain, bringing together 200 works and spanning 15 years of his career. This book documents the intimate and privileged moments of the actor at their most vulnerable—reserved and introspective before each performance—reflecting, contemplating, and caught off guard.
From Wim Wenders to Helen Mirren, Nick Cave, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sigourney Weaver, Isabelle Huppert, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, Scarlett Johansson, Matthew McConaughey, Vanessa Paradis, Carla Bruni, Sophie Marceau, Norman Reedus, and many others, this book offers a glimpse into those usually unseen moments as they transform into an unexpected, meditative, and ultimately spiritual artistic experience.
