Description

This book offers an unprecedented documentation of our era's most famous people, including artists, photographers, designers, creators of culture, musicians, actors and architects.

Each of these people was present with his or her full energy and enthusiasm when Daniel and Geo Fuchs used a box-like Polaroid camera, which had originally been developed for eye doctors, to produce these creative highlights.

The beginning of each session was devoted to the project of taking an extreme close-up of the celebrity's eye.

The next step was to stage a second image, which usually integrated the first portrait of the person's eye.

The resultant photographic artworks are every bit as diverse as are the personalities of the photographed individuals.

These portraits accurately reflect the many facets of life: from gorgeous and aesthetic, through crazy and shrill, to desolate and thought-provoking.

A representative collection of these fascinating photos is available now in this large-format photo book.

Book and slipcase. Text in English, German and French.
