Sylvie Blum and Giovanni Gastel in Munich
12/20/2018
Austrian model turned photographer Sylvie Blum’s signature style is characterised by dramatic monochrome studies of the female physique, interspersed with colourful flashes of lipsticked mouths in close-up. Italian actor, poet and photographer Giovanni Gastel, by way of contrast, is known for depicting women as celestial butterflies and erotic angels. Right now in Munich, a large selection of their works from the 1990s to present have been hung alongside one another in a bright constellation of formal juxtapositions that explore what exactly a fashion photograph can be. But the most intriguing question is: who’s supplying the power here, and who’s supplying the poetry?
