黑料不打烊

Let's take the bull by the horns, let's go past shame, rip off the plaster and take a leap into the unknown. There's no point in trying to soft-pedal the fact that an exhibition featuring Ellen von Unwerth's 30 years of provocative photography will rub some of us up the wrong way. Here, the world's most desirable women slink around sporting the most successful brands and are published in the most famous magazines - and they do it with pouting lips and naked chests.

During those years there has been a never-ending cavalcade of stars posing in front of her camera for photo sessions like no other. It鈥檚 all about having fun and erasing the boundary between fantasy and reality. Like a film director, von Unwerth creates a parallel universe where everything is possible, while always maintaining her professionalism. Since she took her first pictures during a modeling assignment in Africa some 30 years ago, she has produced a host of incredible images, nine photo books, an almost incalculable number of magazine covers and also various productions in her carrier as a film director.

These are the kinds of reflections that arise when one dips into Ellen von Unwerth in collaboration with Fotografiska, the exhibition Devotion! 30 Years of Photographing Women is presented in seven galleries reflecting seven emotional expressions: Love, Play, Power, Gender, Lust, Passion and Drama and an eight-room content videos directed by von Unwerth and personal pictures wallpapers.

Here, your perception of the real world will be jolted. What is up and what is down, what is pleasurably sexy, what looks reprehensible and why do they seem to have so much fun? Whichever of those seven expressions her pictures portray, they are always approached in the lively, energetic, sensual style often with a slightly humorous touch significant for Ellen von Unwerth.
