Inez Van Lamsweerde - Vinoodh Matadin: Pretty Much Everything - Hardcover
Synopsis
This title deals with two artists, two volumes, and one vision. This is the enigmatic and genre-defying work of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin's work has graced the walls and pages of some of the world's finest galleries and fashion magazines, and if it is surprising that their photographs easily float between these worlds, it is by virtue of their ease in creating imagery that seeks homes in both culturally elite and mainstream outlets. For some of their photographs, such as their portrait of Bjork or campaign for Givenchy, van Lamsweerde and Matadin have worked in collaboration with the art directors M/M (Paris), who have also designed this sumptuous two-volume retrospective set that looks back at "pretty much everything" that the photographers have been working on for over two decades and has brought them to the forefront in the fields of both art and fashion.

Review
"It is typical of the photographic art of van Lamsweerde and Matadin that they urge their image making to de-stabilise the pristine surface expected of consumer culture; to this end they make use, in turn, of the Gothic, inscrutability, androgyny, comedy, eroticism, surrealism, fantasy, montage, cinema, replication, image manipulation, Pop art, fetishism and art historical nuance." (Michael Bracewell, from the introduction)"

Dieser Doppelband vereint die beiden Positionen in einer limitierten Ausgabe. Bekannte Arbeiten wie das Björk-Portrait oder die Kampagne für Givenchy und andere angesehene Modemagazine und Galerien sind neben weiteren berühmten Aufträgen, die sowohl das Fachpublikum wie die Konsumenten überzeugten. Beide haben an dem Konzept der Edition mitgearbeitet und beide haben jedes der 1000 Exemplare signiert! Mitgearbeitet haben die derzeit gefragten Kreativen aus der Mode- und Fotoszene, wie etwa Penny Martin (Kuratorin, Professorin in London), Michael Bracewell (Autor, Kulturhistoriker London) oder Bruce Sterling (Kritiker, Journalist, Autor) u.v.a. »Typisch für die Fotokunst von van Lamsweerde und Matadin ist, dass sie ihre Bilder nötigen, die von der Konsumgesellschaft erwarteten makellosen Oberflächen zu destabilisieren; hierzu bedienen sie sich zahlreicher Mittel: Schaurig-Groteskes, Unergründlichkeit, Androgynes, Komödie, Erotik, Surreales, Fantasy, Montage, Kino, Replikation, Bildmanipulation, Pop-Art, Fetisch und kunstgeschichtliche Schattierungen.« Michael Bracewell, aus der Einleitung (Text dt., engl., frz.) 984 pp. Deutsch.
