Hey hey the MLE,
Today I would like to tell you about exhibition I went to last weekend. I am currently referring to the brochure which states, "Juergen Teller is one of the world's most important photographers of our time." Which is making me laugh a bit cause when my friend Halina mailed me saying "Would you like to come see Juergen Teller with me and Hugo at the ICA?" I replied, "is Juergen Teller Hugo's boyfriend?" Whatever, I'm not going pretend like I'm down with photography these days cause I'm not obviously.
After seeing David Lachapelle with you a few weeks ago, I was sort of expecting to see crap fashion photography like his, stuff which would both bore and offend me at the same time. But I was thankfully surprised! Teller's view of fashion is humorous - something I love to see in fashion, which I feel takes itself way to seriously sometimes.
He also includes self-mocking photos of himself (first image), another thing I appreciate because I feel people take themselves much too seriously sometimes. He even includes self-mocking photos of his baby (second image). As you know, I don't really like babies other than Ania, but that photo is so cute.
