<h3>The first solo exhibition "Why Discussed" by internationally renowned German photographer Jürgen Taylor in China opened</h3>
On July 30, 2021, the first solo exhibition of German internationally renowned photographer Jürgen Taylor in China, "Why", presented by T-10 Culture and Art Space, officially opened at SKP-S in Beijing.
The exhibition features more than 350 works from Jurgen Taylor's creative career, covering fashion events, behind-the-scenes stories, portraits, landscapes of life and still life images. In addition, the establishment of the projection area allows viewers to enter Taylor's inner world through precious interview videos, and how he has broken the boundaries between fashion photography and art photography in his 35 years of photography.
Jurgen Taylor is considered one of the most important photographers of his generation, his gaze imbued with curiosity and intimacy, but more importantly, the expression of all this is true and honest. Since the 1990s, Through his unadorned aesthetic attitude, Taylor has broken through the shackles of the established framework of fashion photography at the time, blurring the boundaries between business and art.
In Steinel's 2019 book, Handbags, through large-scale works, Taylor's ability to capture fashion accessories through quirky and humorous thought connections is demonstrated. For example, Victoria Beckham's legs appear at the same time as The Mark Jacobs handbag in a legendary photographic work.
When shooting, Taylor pays attention to releasing the true intentions of the subjects more directly, such as the famous actress Kim Kardashian, designer Stephen Jones, the late filmmaker Agnez Varda, and the Chinese star Ni Ni, which are exhibited at the exhibition site.
In the process of presenting his work, even though his photographic forms of expression are often controversial, he can laugh these criticisms off. For example, "Notes on My Work," which he shot for POP magazine, is a reflective collection of works. One group of portraits of Oscar nominees for W magazine was taken in the street next to his Los Angeles studio. The work was presented with screenshots of his controversial social media.
There's also another project Tyler shot for Pop magazine, Forest (2020). He hopes to show the epic natural scene in front of the audience through the huge size. Let the audience be thoroughly immersed in the viewing, breathe and relax from the urban atmosphere of Beijing's high-rise buildings, and feel the visual impact.
The "Why" exhibition will run until August 27, and interested friends can go to find out.
