Real Dolls: Elisabeth Alexandre and Elena Dorfman Explore Synthetic Love

A book titled 'Elisabeth Alexandre – Elena Dorfman, Des poupées et des hommes' published by Éditions La Musardine examines men who choose Real Dolls—life-size silicone sex dolls costing $7,000—as partners. Author Elisabeth Alexandre, with empathy and cultural insight, interviews users, while photographer Elena Dorfman captures portraits of them with their dolls. The book, prefaced by Jacques Henric, argues these synthetic companions represent a shift into a new dimension of reality, hinting at future societal changes. It avoids easy irony, instead offering a nuanced look at artificial intimacy.
