Background information
"Long known for her provocative work in the fashion world, photographer Ellen von UNWERTH becomes a director on the set of a sadomasochistic story told solely through images. Revenge begins with a trio of young women arriving at the estate of the Baroness, expecting a relaxing weekend. The Baroness, her chauffeur and her stablehand soon have them involved in something quite different. Von Unwerth creates a movie-style production complete with a cast and hair and makeup artists. Models wear clothes by Ann Demeulmeester and Dior, shoes from Louboutin and Dolce & Gabbana and more. Content
Cinematic yet effortlessly high-fashion, the out-of-print volume 'Revenge' by Ellen von UNWERTH encapsulates the aesthetic of the 1990s and 2000s that the photographer herself helped define, and includes her trademark glamor and eroticism that has made her the doyenne of modern fashion photography. This alluring vintage-style volume, with linen binding and an oval tip-on, includes an essay by British artist and writer Harland Miller." (© Twin Palms, 2003)
