註釋
The Beauty of Violence is Karl Lagerfeld's portrait of Baptiste Giabiconi acting out an erotic seizure of myriad facial and corporeal expressions. Giabiconi is a theatrical chameleon: he hides coyly behind a lock of black hair, adopts a Classical contrapposto pose, bunches his limbs vulnerably, and attempts to stuff his fist into his mouth. He alternatively confronts the camera's presence with a provocative sultry stare, or withdraws from it into a state of wilful self-absorption. By teasing out the facets of Giabiconi's athletic youth, Lagerfeld removes the threat of violence and suggests its seductive, indeterminate beauty. The Beauty of Violence is both the exploration of an intense persona and the latest chapter in Lagerfeld's ongoing photographic exploration of architectural forms made material by light - whether his subject be man-made structures, landscape, or the human form. Karl Lagerfeld, fashion designer, book dealer and publisher, began working as a photographer in 1987. He has received the Lucky Strike Design Award from the Raymond Lewy Foundation, the cultural prize from the German Photographic Society, and the ICP Trustees Award at the International Center of Photography's Infinity Awards in 2007. His recent photographic exhibitions include 'Konkret Abstrakt Gesehen' at the Langen Foundation, Neuss; and 'Metamorphoses of an American - A Cycle of Youth, 2003-8' at Pace/MacGill, New York. Steidl has published most of Lagerfeld's photography books, including Casa Malaparte, Aktstrakt, A Portrait of Dorian Gray, Room Service, Palazzo, Metamorphoses of an American, Chanel's Russian Connection and others.
