Celeste Jose talks about Jurgen Teller yo!
Frieze, issue #88 jan/feb 2005... about page 16.
This 'report' was actually inspired only by an image advertising a show Jurgen Teller was having. But he seemed intriguing so I looked into him a little more on the internet. The image that originally got my attention was this one...
... then i went to a few sites and found out about him. He is a german fashion photographer who's work is more about a shift away from perfection and leaning toward being raw and seemingly spontaneous. He also seems to want to capture moments in time rather than focus on aesthetics. For example, dropping of a ball into water, a girl with her head turned, his models as the appear when they arrive at his studio rather than after they're 'done up'. I think this is pretty interesting, also really like the qaulity of his work (kind of faded, tacky, old looking- naff, is that right?)... well once you consider to 'priviliged' position some of these people seem to have in society the appearance of the photo is much more interesting because Teller's subjects 'power' is NOT conveyed, in a way he is re-humanising celebritydom.
