Hedi Slimane: Berlin

Praise for Hedi Slimane's Intermission, his first photo book: "If you thought Hedi Slimane's talents began and ended with tailoring, you are so wrong--his latest project, Intermission, shows off His Slimness's skills as a photographer." --Nylon

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.
