Juergen Teller: Woo


Hannah, Ani and I went to the opening of the new Juergen Teller exhibition, "Woo" last week at the ICA. It was pretty awesome to see the photographs printed, on walls for once instead of on a feed on Tumblr. I particularly loved the first room, where on entering there's the HUGE triptych of Vivienne Westwood, alongside a portrait of a kitten. It was totally impressive, and I wish that all the photos displayed were that big, or at least bigger than they are on a computer screen. Unfortunately, the rooms were all very separated, but what was lovely was that they integrated extremely well with the building itself, the floors and high ceilings perfect for creating the right mood. I'm glad to have seen this exhibition after the Tim Walker exhibition at Somerset House. It's nice to see two different fashion photographers show their work so differently next to eachother on the calendar.
I would highly recommend going to this, and it's free so there's no excuse!
