CORBIJN, ANTON
Iconic portraits and fashion imagery of leading international photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn
I photograph mostly personalities, but fashion is more and more part of it. We all make a decision in the morning about what to wear, even if it is just a hat or a black T-shirt. Fashion is not always spelled out in capital letters.
Anton Corbijn
MOØDe, by leading international photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn, presents images from his extensive oeuvre in which he explores the crossover in the broadest sense of the word between photography and the world of fashion.
Corbijns portraits of famous figures including Alexander McQueen, Tom Waits, Kate Moss, Björk and Clint Eastwood have achieved iconic status. As visual director for Depeche Mode and through his decades-long collaboration with U2 and other musicians, he has left an indelible stamp on how we look at a crucial aspect of contemporary culture. With MOØDe, Anton Corbijn shows that fashion is everywhere.
This publication features more than 150 images and collaborations from Corbijns rich body of work, many of them never seen before.
With an essay by Karen Van Godtsenhoven, associate curator of The Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Publication accompanying the MOØDe exhibition atCultuurcentrum Scharpoord, Knokke-Heist, Belgium, running from 26 September to 10 January 2021.
