Inez van Lamsweerde: Can Love Be a Photograph, Gebunden

Klappentext

A unique retrospective of one of the most influential photography duos of our time: Inez & Vinoodh

For forty years, Inez van Lamsweerde (b. 1963) & Vinoodh Matadin (b. 1961) have redefined the boundaries of photography. This iconic duo, born in the Netherlands and hailed worldwide for their fearless fusion of art, fashion, and portraiture, have created a body of work that is as visually seductive as it is intellectually disruptive. Throughout, they have embraced innovation, but without letting technology take over their narrative.

Inez & Vinoodh continue to collaborate with leading fashion designers and luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chloé, and Chanel, while also producing striking covers and editorials for acclaimed publications, including Vogue, Rolling Stone, W Magazine , and Gentlewoman.

Acting as both mirror and magnifying glass, their photography not only draws from popular culture but also critiques it, uncovering a complex mingling of the familiar and the unsettling, the quotidian and the uncanny. Philosopher Simone Weil's definition of truly seeing---"Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity"---lies at the heart of Can Love Be a Photograph , spanning four decades of the couple's life and work together.

In addition to over 150 photographs byInez & Vinoodh , this book includes written contributions by Mathias Augustyniak, Guus Beumer, Francesco Bonami, Pamela Chen, Donatien Grau, Margriet Schavemaker, and Willemijn van der Zwaan, as well as a wide-ranging conversation with Tilda Swinton

Publication accompanying the exhibition Can Love Be a Photograph -- 40 Years of Inez & Vinoodh , at Kunstmuseum Den Haag from March 21 to September 6, 2026.
