Exploring the Intersection of Fashion Photography and Body Art
A showcase of the contemporary international photography scene in the form of nineteen individual presentations. The book and exhibition explore how artists have adopted classical fashion photography techniques to examine the relationship between body and clothing, free from functionality or commercial intent. Centered on evolving body aesthetics over the past two decades, it highlights influential works like Leigh Bowery's radical creations, documented by Fergus Greer, which made Bowery an icon of London subculture. The interplay between fashion and photography is further illustrated by Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Erwin Olaf, and Matthias Herrmann. Contributions from artists like Tracey Baran, Luigi & Luca, Hanna Putz, and Viviane Sassen focus on the body's form and transformation, bridging fashion with body art, installations, and rituals.
