Perfect Sister is the first photobook by Brigitte Maria Mayer, marking the beginning of a body of work that would define her early artistic practice.
Emerging from her studies in photography and performance, Mayer constructs a visual language centered on the human body, identity, and symbolic representation. The images often stage the body as both subject and medium, oscillating between dignity, vulnerability, and confrontation.
The photographs reflect an engagement with historical and mythological references, while simultaneously addressing themes of modernity, trauma, and sexuality. Through carefully composed, tableau-like scenes, Mayer anticipates later developments in her work, where influences from Renaissance painting and theatrical staging become more pronounced.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
