„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.
