Guy Bourdin
16 March to 6 June 2004,
NGV International,
Temporary Exhibition Galleries, Ground
Floor
At the heart of Guy Bourdin's fashion photographs is a
confrontation with the very nature of commercial image making.
While conventional fashion images make beauty and clothing
their central elements, Bourdin's photographs offer a radical
alternative. Guy Bourdin presented fashion as the luxurious
embellishment rather than the subject of his photographs. He
magnified to centre stage dark fantasies, of lust, consumption
and desire.
