Book Reviews of Sylvain's Tahiti
Book Review: A paradise of clichés
Summary: 2 Stars
Although principally an exercise in wish-fulfilment for prurient and paradise-starved Europeans it is hard to deny the captivating beauty of Sylvain's photos. That said, colour is the essence of Tahiti and black and white studies do more for the drizzle-drenched backstreets of Leeds and Liverpool than for the lush forests and lagoons of the tropical South Pacific. A book that has prolonged the myths and contributed to the transformation of Tahiti into a tacky theme park.
