L'enfant penchée - a photo on Flickriver

L'enfant penchée

            In the background to this spirit level is the cover of an unusual comic strip book written by Benoît Peeters and illustrated by François Schuiten.

Peeters and Schuiten have collaborated on many wonderful books, of which this is perhaps the most disturbing, perhaps because of the Dutch angle.

In this magnificently-illustrated book, the author tells the exciting and intriguing story of a well-brought up little girl who emerges with a strange affliction after visiting a fairground attraction. Her centre of gravity has shifted so that she can no longer stand perpendicular to the ground. She quickly discovers that people are intolerant to such individualism.    

I hope that this image disturbs just as much, if only because of its double-Dutch angle.
