Inez van Lamsweerde/Vinoodh Matadin. Pretty Much Everything

by Inez Van Lamsweerde (Photographer), Vinoodh Matadin (Photographs)

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 Björk or campaign for Givenchy, van Lamsweerde and Matadin have worked in collaboration with the art directors M/M (Paris), who have also designed this retrospective that looks back at “pretty much everything” that the photographers have been working on for over two decades and that has brought them to the forefront in the fields of both art and fashion.

A book of frightening and disturbing photographs. Do NOT read this late at night before going to bed. You're warned.

Superb 💓

The title is accurate. As a compendium, this collection is a bit too complete. There are photos of a number of subjects that are virtually identical--clearly shots from the same roll. A stand-out photo book, like literature, needs a good editor.
