Julian

Fleur Pierets

Their tragic story went around the globe: the Belgian artist Fleur Pierets was to marry her partner Julian in all 22 countries where two women legally can. The idea behind the project was to, positively, shine a light on equal marriage rights. The world press showed great interest. Marina Abramović wished them good luck.

But after their fourth marriage in Paris, Julian was diagnosed with aggressive brain tumours. She died two months later, on January 22nd 2018. Fleur was left behind with only one thing to do: write.

The result is the breathtaking Julian: as modest as it is glamorous, starring fate in the leading role. A book in which the emotional turmoil of mourning and falling in love intertwine closely. A love story told through the lives of two extraordinary, inspiring artists. But above all: a commemoration of Julian.

“About an inescapable love and an inescapable death. Free from kitschy sentiment. Very moving” – Saskia de Coster, author
