These are not carnival costumes—they are archetypes steeped in pre-Christian cosmology, rural myth, and seasonal survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"501\" data-end=\"879\"\u003eFréger’s photographic style is both taxonomic and theatrical: participants are presented full-figure against foggy pastures, snowy fields, or neutral backdrops, emphasizing their constructed strangeness. Pelts, horns, fur, straw, bells, soot—materials that blur man, animal, and spirit into an untamed presence. The effect is eerie, anthropological, and at times darkly comical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"1210\"\u003eThis volume, with its dense visual typology and restrained design, parallels Fréger’s \u003cem data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"977\"\u003eCIMARRON\u003c\/em\u003e but shifts focus from the postcolonial Americas to Europe's own margins and inherited performances of “wildness.” It offers an unsettling view of how identity, nature, and the grotesque are staged and celebrated—season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1212\" data-end=\"1563\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003cbr data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1230\"\u003eTitle: WILDER MANN: Ou la Figure du Sauvage\u003cbr data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1276\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Charles Fréger\u003cbr data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1310\"\u003eDate: 2012\u003cbr data-start=\"1320\" data-end=\"1323\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset\u003cbr data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover\u003cbr data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1393\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eDimensions (cm): approx. 21 × 26\u003cbr data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1428\"\u003eLanguage: French\u003cbr data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1447\"\u003ePages: Unstated\u003cbr data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1465\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: Thames \u0026amp; Hudson \/ Actes Sud\u003cbr data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1515\"\u003eISBN: 978-2-330-00799-1\u003cbr data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1541\"\u003eCondition: Near Fine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52605317349714,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_1_1318073f-7fbd-4b7e-83f2-c41dc39b7078.jpg?v=1769895637","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/wilder-mann-ou-la-figure-du-sauvage-charles-freger-2012","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
