David LaChapelle: Burning beauty

Burning Beauty is a comprehensive summary of photographer David LaChapelle, stretching from the early 1980’s to 2012. LaChapelle’s imagery has the ability not only to attract our gaze with seductive and remarkable bodies, settings and objects in every conceivable and inconceivable constellation; it also has the capacity to incite reactions that charge our seeing with emotions that engender a relationship between the image and its viewer. Published to accompany the exhibition Burning Beauty at The Swedish Museum of Photography in Stockholm, this book offers a unique insight in one of the most important contemporary artists in the world.
