The Clinic

Más información sobre el libro

The booklet, designed in collaboration with Juergen Teller, intricately weaves together two key aspects of his work: the exploration of the private sphere and the thematic presentation of photography on photography. Francesco Bonami highlights this duality, noting that Teller skillfully blends comedy and drama, resulting in a unique form of fiction. Often, Teller includes himself in the images, becoming both subject and protagonist, which introduces a second perspective into the narrative. This theatrical approach encourages viewers to recognize their own presence and engagement in the artist's narrative. Bonami further reflects on Teller's photography, suggesting that experiencing a miracle requires an intuitive anticipation of it. He posits that Teller's work embodies signs of potential miracles, where viewers, much like those at a miraculous site, remain hopeful and focused on each moment, aware that the extraordinary could occur at any time. This sense of wonder permeates Teller's images, inviting viewers to remain open to the possibility that each moment holds significance. The exhibition took place at CFA Contemporary Fine Arts in Berlin from August 28 to September 26, 2015.
