今日は、 Inez van Lamsweerde っていうオランダ人のファッション・フォトグラファーとそのパートナー Vinoodh Matadin について。この二人が撮ったイメージをどこかで見て、一目ぼれしたんだけど、フォトグラファーやモデル、写真のコンセプトとかについて何も手がかりが無かった。中世の貴族みたいな髪型で、顔を真っ黒に塗ってて、体はロボットみたいに無機質。すごくシンプルで象徴的…とにかく色んなトコロで色んな人に聞いたけど誰もそのイメージについて知らなかった。でも、今日偶然ある場所で偶然別の写真を目にして、ちょっと気になったから何となくフォトグラファーを検索したら、一目ぼれしたその写真も、その人たちの作品だということが分かった！ Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin...
二人は、世界中の色んなアーティストとコラボレートしていて、作品はVogue, V, SelfServiceといった雑誌で見ることが出来る。だけど、一番好きなのは、M/M (Paris) とのコラボレーション。Bjorkの"hidden place"や"Medulla"みたいな感じで、ちょっとグロテスク。。。

english\\\\When Lamusadekafka asked me to write for TFR regarding art, I was not sure if I could write something worth reading for the audience here. Although I really enjoy his text and the pictures of "hedonistic tokyo-fashionistas", I have not really got into fashion myself. However, when Lamusadekafka mentioned "Theory of Obscurity", I suddenly felt that I understood what he was trying to do. I should be coming in on this. I made my mind, and HERE I AM. Here I am to be fucked by hot-intelligent-absurd people....(but please be gentle with me)
I'd like to start with a Dutch photographer, Inez van Lamsweerde, and her partner, Vinoodh Matadin. I got a crush on one picture by them from first glance, but didn't have any clue about the photographer, the model and the concept at all. The model's hair was like a medieval lord, her face was painted all black, body is inorganic like a robot...It was very simple yet figurative... Anyway, I had been trying to find out about the image in vain.
Today, I saw another splendid image by them, and googled "van Lamsweerde" to find out the picture I had been in love was also the creation by them. Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin...
They have been collaborating with many artists around the world and you will be able to see their works in various fashion magazines (Vogue, V, SelfService...etc). But above all, the collaboration with M/M (Paris) is really something else. Simple, delicate and grotesque beautiful as you see in "hidden place" and "Medulla" of Bjork and "Alphamen" series...
