Juergen Teller: Go-Sees (reverse bound, upside down)
Juergen Teller
Scalo, 1999
€95,00
“A ‘go-see’ is a particular kind of vetting process in the fashion industry. Unlike a ‘casting’, the go-see is conducted without the prospect of a definite commission. As an open-ended yet structured encounter between the photographer and his subject, the stakes are nevertheless high, and the expectations intens. This is a model’s testing ground, a trial of sorts, with the proviso that neither photographer nor model, who is also known as a go-see, is working to meet the requirements of a specific assignement.”
In this cult book Teller brought together a year of ‘go-sees’ in this book. Most of the photographs are taken at his studio door, likely when the models just arrived. Some of the models became famous, most of them not.
Our copy is a very special one: in perfect condition, but reverse bound. This means all the pages are turned and the go-sees are upside-down. Hence the price. We show you the pictures in this way, but you can turn the book , as we did for the last picture, and then it’s perfect!
