Exposition à la galerie ACTE 2 du 20 avril au 3 juin 2006- date du
concert des Rolling Stones au Stade de France.
Peter Lindbergh est né en 1944 en Allemagne, il se destine d’abord
à la peinture avant de s’adonner à la photographie à
l’âge de 27 ans. Il devient alors assistant du photographe de
mode Hans Lux auprès duquel il se forma pendant deux ans. En 1973,
il commence à travailler seul, ses premiers travaux montrent une préférence
pour le noir et blanc auquel il reste fidèle toujours aujourd’hui.
En 1978, Lindbergh publie ses premières photographies dans le magazine
Stern et très rapidement ses images seront publiées par les
plus grandes revues de mode : Vogue américain, Anglais, français,
Vanity Fair, New Yorker, Harper’s Bazaar… il signe aussi les campagnes
publicitaires des plus grands créateurs de mode : Armani, Prada, Calvin
Klein, Hugo Boss…
En 1996, Lindbergh publie son premier portfolio, préfacé par
Karl Lagerfeld, «10 Women » dans lequel il met en scène
les plus beaux tops models de la décennie. L’année suivante
sortira « Images of Women » retraçant son travail du milieu
des années 80 au milieu des années 90.
Peter Lindbergh a reçu de nombreux prix pour l’ensemble de son
œuvre .Il sait dépasser la simple photographie de mode et conférer
à ses modèles une vérité troublante, les femmes
qu’il met en scène existent pour elles mêmes, elles sont
naturelles et resplendissantes. Cette spontanéité, l’intérêt
qu’il porte à la personnalité de ses modèles se
reflètent également dans les nombreuses photos de célébrités
qu’il réalisa parmi lesquelles Bernardo Bertolucci, Catherine
Deneuve, Brad Pitt…
One of the most respected and widely emulated photographers
working today, Peter Lindbergh has been described as a "poet of glamour."
Since 1978, when Stern Magazine published his first series of fashion photographs,
his work has been published by every major international fashion magazine
and commissioned for the influential campaigns of the worlds leading fashion
designers.
Born on the Polish border of East Germany in 1944, Peter Lindbergh spent his
childhood in the West German town of Duisburg. Located at the heart of the
Ruhr coal field, Duisburg was then a flourishing center of heavy industry.
His uncle worked as a sheep farmer with a herd of 3,000, which he kept on
a rented parcel of land near the Rhine River. Growing up, Lindbergh spent
all of his free time outdoors. The side of the river where he lived was flanked
by green grass and trees, while the other was crammed with factories and bordered
by ship loading docks.
Photographic historian Martin Harrison noted the impact of these contrasting
environments in Images of Women, Lindbergh's 1997 book, which provided an
overview of his work from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. "The opposition
of the bare tree and the electricity pylon [referring to two images on page
108-109], is revealed as a symbol of Lindbergh's autobiography, a clue to
a thread which runs through much of his work."
One of his most well known early photographs, shot in 1988 for a Comme des
Garçons campaign, shows three robotic-looking models dwarfed against
the overwhelming scale of the machinery in a steam-era factory. The image
crystallizes the enormous political, industrial and cultural changes, which
occurred in Europe at the end of the 1980s.
Lindbergh's current photography mirrors contemporary life. Describing his
work, American Photo has said: "The most important quality in Peter Lindbergh's
fashion photography is a forthright, almost shocking honesty. His models seem
to open themselves emotionally to his camera. Amid the artifice, they seem
real."
Peter Lindbergh was 27 when he picked up a camera for the first time. Shortly
afterward, he became an assistant to photographer Hans Lux. By 1973, after
completing a two-year apprenticeship with Lux, he began working independently
as an advertising photographer. His early images were characterized by a preference
for black and white film, which continues to comprise 60% of his work. They
were ripe with spontaneity, and his models' expressions lacked the artifice
prevalent in fashion. The early work had a strong narrative quality. In 1978,
after Stern Magazine published his first fashion series of photographs and
demand for his work became overwhelming, he moved to Paris.
Lindbergh's photographs have since appeared in every major fashion magazine
published, including Italian, French, British and American Vogue, W, The New
Yorker, Vanity Fair, Stern, and Rolling Stone. Until January 1997, much of
his editorial output appeared in Harper's Bazaar. In 1992 Bazaar signed a
contract with Lindbergh, an unprecedented move at the time. During the last
ten years, and some still today, he has photographed the advertising campaigns
for the foremost designers in America and Europe, including Giorgio Armani,
Prada, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Jil Sander and Hugo Boss.
