First edition of Berlin by Hedi Slimane. First impression. Medium format hardback in a card slipcase, in near fine condition. A small mark on the verso of slipcase where a sticker has been removed. About Fresh from the latest season of menswear couture and his last book project, an imaginative artist's book that melded photographs of draped fabrics with impossible materials, here is Hedi Slimane's latest creation. Here is Berlin, heard not as the symphony of a large city but as a quiet, emotive ballad. Here is Berlin, as Hedi Slimane has captured it, photographing his surroundings, his friends and the ordinary places where unglamorous lives are led in the German capital. In intense photos that visualize a young generation's attitude toward life, Slimane reveals the shared desire for something other than feelings of security and prefabricated ideas. Show more
