„From glam fashion to the poetry of
nature, from the pop portrait to the ironic mise-en-scene, new stances
in photography display a preference for anything that’s opulent, sugary
sweet, and trivial.This elaborately designed volume comes with an
embossed hard cover and silver edging that’s as gaudy as its
photographs. It’s inspired by the „bling“ of hip-hop, meaning things
such as rhinestones or a desire to show off one’s wealth. The
publication, edited by the curator and journalist Nadine Barth, presents
the most prominent approaches to this fascinating direction, which
explore the boundaries of the medium with wit and overwhelming
color.Featuring works by Miles Aldridge, Maxime Ballesteros, Christto
& Andrew, Markus Henttonen, David LaChapelle, Izima Kaoru, Anatol
Kotte, Pierre et Gilles, Rankin, Martin Schoeller, Ruud van Empel,
Pierre Winther and others“ (Hatje Cantz). – Tadellos.
