about the author
FRÉDÉRIC BEIGBEDER
Writer and literary critic born in 1965, Frédéric Beigbeder embodies the hedonistic spirit of Parisian nights in the 80s and 90s. Founder of the legendary Caca’s Club (1984-1994), he organized hundreds of parties in mythical venues like Les Bains-Douches and Le Palace. Winner of the Prix Interallié in 2003 and the Prix Renaudot in 2009, he transformed his nocturnal experience into literary works with “99 francs” and “Vacances dans le coma”. A columnist for Figaro Magazine and a prominent media personality, he remains a privileged witness to this golden era. His sharp pen and authentic experience make him the ideal preface writer to document Parisian nights.
FOC KAN
Photographer born in 1949, Foc Kan was the indispensable eye of Parisian nights for 20 years. Armed with his Leica and mastering the hyperfocal flash technique, he immortalized the golden age of Les Bains-Douches and Le Palace from 1980 to 2000. His iconic shots capture David Bowie, Grace Jones, Karl Lagerfeld, and the cultural elite in their nocturnal intimacy. A collaborator for Voici for 19 years, he developed a unique ‘cowboy’ style where every detail remains sharp, without shadow. His archives today constitute the most complete visual testimony of this pre-smartphone era where celebrities and anonymous individuals mingled freely.
