Book Inez van Lamsweerde/Vinoodh Matadin, Art Edition No. 101–200 ‘Kissing Vinoodh’ - Taschen

The photographic duo van Lamsweerde and Matadin destabilize polished surfaces and easy labels of consumer culture. Their images flow between fashion and art, between the elite and mainstream, as well as between registers and references, including Gothic, androgyny, eroticism, and surrealism. This two-part art edition spans over two decades of genre-defying practice and includes two signed prints.
