"According to Olivier Dassault, aviation and photography are like imperious passions. They are related and meet what has become a vital need: the need to go and catch our breath and vision on the extreme edge of the atmosphere and , by doing so, to reach a territory of the most obvious beauty. When seen from the sky, these skies, which are so in love with infinity, look like reflections or our most secret dreams, our hidden obsessions and our secret bedazzlement. This is because the camera lens is neither neutral nor insensitive here. It responds to an almost mystic intoxication. It is carried away by the spectacle of the most ephemeral vertigo. It seems to feel more emotions and to have more soul. And in the text that escorts the photographs, Andre Velter (Goncourt/Poesie prize in 1996) explores just how being snatched from the ground and taking off has inspired painters, poets and musicians to create something completely new. When they suddenly find themselves at altitude, the perspective of these creators changes, as does their angle of attack and even the way they organize their creations. This book is, thanks to its high-speed magic and the sense of wonder it communicates, an invitation to take stock of how the pioneers of aviation and those who followed them have revolutionised our perception and gaze." from the jacket flap.
