Teller Juergen The Flow & Season three [Louis Vuitton] / Siegerflieger / Pictures & Text - 2012-2015. Following the success of "I Just Arrived in Paris" (Steidl, 2014) THE FLOW is the second book in the continuing collaboration between Juergen Teller and Nicolas Ghesquière, artistic director of Louis Vuitton. On 1 October 2014 Teller photographed Ghesquière's Spring-Summer 2015 collection for the house, and the resulting book is a fluid mix of fashion photos in Teller's inimitable guileless style and images of Paris shot while boating down the Seine. This combination of portraiture, still-life and landscape photography mirrors the eclectic influences and materials which Ghesquière synthesizes in his collections-a bold, unconventional flow whereby innovation unceasingly rejuvenates tradition. This, the third book in the celebrated series by Juergen Teller and Nicolas Ghesquière, artistic director of Louis Vuitton, proves that their audacious collaboration is as alive as ever. Perhaps more explicitly than its predecessors I Just Arrived in Paris (2014) and THE FLOW (2015), Season Three tells the story of a fashion collection as it evolves through photography (in this case Ghesquière's creations for Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2015/16). Divided into named chapters, the book shows the changing guise of the collection as Teller photographs it for different purposes and in individual moods: be it presskit photos, streetscapes and still-lifes, candid bathroom scenes, backstage and runway shots, a fashion editorial for AnOther Magazine, or the advertising campaign. As ever with Teller, his photos reveal an irreverent, sometimes brazen take on the world of luxury, and rethink the line between fashion and life. For a German soccer enthusiast like Juergen Teller (born 1964), Summer 2014 couldn't have been any better. The German national team won the World Cup in Brazil, and Teller was passionately present every step of the way. This new volume, Siegerflieger (literally "the victors' plane," the affectionate name given to the German team's customized jumbo) unfolds in typical diary-like Teller fashion. Yet Teller's obsession with soccer remains center stage, whether he's watching the final live on TV or welcoming home the triumphant team at the Brandenburg Gate. For over a year Juergen Teller contributed a column to the magazine of Die Zeit, Germany's most respected news paper. Given free creative rein, Teller presented a new image each week with an accompanying text he had written. Combining pictures and words in this way was new for Teller, and has since intensified the autobiographical element of his work. Like his images the texts are blunt, often controversial and irresistibly Telleresque. From the very beginning the column was greeted with enthusiasm but also elicited outcry - the magazine received piles of letters each week, most of them complaining that such poor photographs were being published in such a respected magazine. Book two Literature contains the best of these letters.
