[the ultimate face card test / 00s energy]
first appearing in the late '80's in ground-breaking british style magazines - i-d, the face and arena, juergen teller's photographs have continued to shape and reveal the visual language of a generation. created against the backdrop of fashion they provide a record, less of its changing faces, than of an underlying sensibility. reflecting the uncertainty of our times, teller peels away the conventions of fashion imagery to find beneath the posturing and glitz, pathos and sexual energy. whether photographing supermodels or pop icons, backstage at the fashion shows, on the streets of romania or the wilds of the cornish moors, teller finds humanity in the mortality of glamour and beauty in the broken image. including a conversation and texts by neville wakefield.
year: 1996
condition: near mint with wear consistent with age
librarian's note: primary archival document. curated for its era-defining silhouette, technical grit, and subcultural value. a physical fragment of visual history, kept for its historical resonance and structural integrity.
