The photography of Madame Peripetie

Born in Poland but now based in London, Sylwana Zybura who goes under the name Madam Peripetie is a highly imaginative photographer who creates surreal, visually vibrant, unconventional characters using a variety of props and make-up and hair design.

Her new book “Dream Sequence” was recently released by Seltman+Söhne, which is based on a project she has been working on and off since 2009.

The series was inspired by Salvador Dali’s dream scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Spellbound.”

Created jointly with stylist Stella Gosteva and make-up artist Marina Keri, this photography series seeks to “illuminate the dreamy phantasmagorias to which we disappear to in the night, creating charaters that ‘radiate a sense of ever-lasting awe and reverence.'”

“The protagonists radiate both the contemplative and poetic artificiality of Sugimoto’s wax sculptures.”
