Abstract
- Paul Kooiker's book "Fashion" showcases his unique approach to fashion photography. Unlike other photographers who conform to the conventions of the genre, Kooiker uses fashion as a pretext to explore exaggeration and collective themes. The book features sepia-toned and color photographs that emphasize isolated body parts, unsettling textures, and props, rather than the clothing or jewelry itself. Kooiker's work creates a sense of timelessness and also delves into the odd, unseemly, and grotesque aspects of fashion. By releasing his pictures from their original editorial contexts, Kooiker challenges traditional notions of fashion and expands the boundaries of the genre. [Extracted from the article]
