- The Barefoot Promise is a study on foot fetishism through set photographs of Western films.
- From Hollywood Golden Age to French Nouvelle Vague, the motif of the foot reveals the hidden fantasies and gender norms conveyed by European and American filmmakers. Structured as a film itself, the book is the first printed version of the Promise of the Screen, a screening device developed by Pierre Leguillon since 2007 to look at the marginal aspects of cinema.
- All lobby cards and press photographs reproduced in this publication belong to the collections of the Museum of Mistakes, Brussels. The book comes with an intermission and a bonus by Louise Lawler!
