Pierre et Gilles Sailors & Sea

€6.00
As sweet as raspberry ripple, as tempting as popcorn: welcome to the seductive photographs of Pierre et Gilles. Bizarre and full of obscure significance, full of glitter, flowers, and hearts, the portraits are reminiscent of stills from film melodramas. This saccharine collection of kitsch encompasses selections of Pierre et Gilles's best work
This publication by Taschen features the evocative and atmospheric photography of the French duo Pierre et Gilles. The work highlights their distinct aesthetic, characterized by high-contrast black and white imagery and a cinematic sense of drama. Specifically focusing on the 'Sailors & Sea' theme, the book captures maritime life and stylized portraits that blend reality with a dreamlike, melancholic atmosphere. It serves as a significant visual record of their artistic evolution and their unique contribution to contemporary photography.
