Over the past 20 years Sorel Cohen has developed a photographic practice with intimate ties to painting and film. This publication presents three key bodies of work produced in the late 1990s. Each work is concerned with psychoanalysis and the book's title, Divans maudits or the couches of the damned succinctly conveys Cohen's preoccupations: the relationship between patient and therapist in all its erotic ambivalence.
