This piece was published in Paris in 1979 by the legendary Galerie Maeght for "Derrière le Miroir" (Issue No. 227), a premier art publication that accompanied Monory’s "Technicolor" exhibition.

The vibrant front of the page features a cinematic offset lithograph from the Technicolor series. Dominated by electric blues and saturated fuchsia, the scene presents a stylized figure seated poolside in a lush, hyperreal garden. The heightened color contrasts evoke the mood of film noir, capturing a sense of stillness and suspense that is central to Monory’s exploration of artificial beauty, pop culture, and solitude.

The reverse side of the page (marked page 15) features a striking monochromatic reproduction of another work from the exhibition, cataloged as "n° 16". This black-and-white image depicts a cinematic grouping of fashionable female figures lounging in a 1970s interior. Having artwork or exhibition catalog details printed on the reverse is a hallmark of authentic Derrière le Miroir folios, guaranteeing this piece is an original 1979 gallery printing and not a modern reproduction.
