80 pages 
Language : French 

Zena Holloway takes us into a submarine poetic journey, with her photographs of men, women and children sirens, with the distinct goal of breaking away of the basic myths given siren women the role of the ''baddy'' attracting male sailors to their doom... 
Here, the sirens are both men and women, but also children, and live in peace and harmony.

 A few fish remind us that the models posed in a natural environnement and that the human and all other living beings have to be reunited as life has started (according to science) in the oceans...  

These photographs propose a little artistic nudity and the small texts accompanying each picture are gathered at the end of the book and form a short poem. 

 Why 8 and not 10 score ? the pages are in black and I'm afraid that without a librarian's gloves, these pages will be sooner or later filled with finger marks... the book is too short and I wish to see more!
