"Rayon Vert (Second Kominek Edition)" is a photobook by Swiss female photographer Centa Simon. Centa Simon studied for many years at the Lausanne University of Art and Design (ECAL) in Switzerland, which is considered one of the world's leading art schools, and also worked as an assistant teacher. She has been exhibiting her work in group exhibitions since the 2010s, and began to make a name for herself around last year. Her debut work, "Rayon Vert," published in 2017, was nominated for the Paris Photo / Aperture Photobook Award 2017 First Book. It is an intimate collaboration between Simon and the female models. At first glance, they are casual portrait nudes, but as the title is taken from the famous painting "Le Rayon Vert / The Green Ray" by director Eric Rohmer, the multifaceted expressions woven by light and shadow, as well as the unique perspective and composition, fully convey the photographer's unique creativity. The first edition was published in 2017, with only about 16 copies handmade by the author. This book is the second edition of the New Edition, newly published by a German publisher as a popular edition. (The first edition of Kominek's New Edition was published in 2018.)
