Aperture Magazine Releases Winter Issue, āDesire,ā Featuring an Expansive Interview with Renowned Fashion Photographer Juergen Teller
(New YorkāDecember 12, 2023) This winter, Aperture magazine presents āDesire,ā an edition that considers desire as both an impulse and a state of mind. The issue features an expansive interview with Juergen Teller, whose photographs upend fashionās vocabulary of glamour and aspiration, on the occasion of his major exhibition Juergen Teller: i need to live, opening at the Grand Palais ĆphĆ©mĆØre in Paris on December 16, 2023.
Photographers are natural voyeurs. The compulsion to wantāor, in todayās parlance, to manifestāemerges throughout the work in this issue. Artists such as Nakeya Brown, Nabil Harb, Oto Gillen, Marcelo Gomes, and Jonathas de Andrade consider the body, the natural world, beguiling objects, and direct physical expressions of desire as the material for indelible images.
Andrew Maerkle profiles the celebrated Japanese photographer Ishiuchi Miyako, who for decades has conjured history through evocative personal objects, creating magnetic images that are at once surreal and surprisingly physical. Amanda Maddox considers a generation of women photographers whose work probes the feminist dynamics of seeingāand being seen. Moeko Fujii revisits Hisae Imai, an ascendent figure in Tokyoās art and fashion scenes of the 1960s, and Lucy McKeon finds new resonance in the sensual self-portraits Melissa Shook made as a young woman and mother. In āDesire,ā photographers render reality as unearthlyāand take the viewer somewhere else altogether.
