"Four decades on, Inez and Vinoodh are considered two of the most important image-makers of our time, widely celebrated for their early adoption of digital manipulation, their key role in shifting the dominant grunge aesthetic of the 90s towards something much more glamorous, energetic and uncanny."
"Their aesthetic and intellectual objectives remain the same: an enquiry into 'the instability of photographic truth, the performance of gender, the politics of beauty and the transformative power of the image.'"
"Titled Can Love Be a Photo, the retrospective was designed to reflect the museum's architecture, which was built in the 30s by HP Berlage, a Dutch Bauhaus-inspired architect."
Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin began their collaboration in the 1980s, evolving from a professional partnership into a romantic relationship. Over four decades, they have become significant figures in photography, recognized for their digital manipulation and contributions to the 90s aesthetic shift. Their work encompasses various forms, including art, fashion editorials, and music videos, focusing on themes like photographic truth, gender performance, and beauty politics. A retrospective of their work has opened at Kunstmuseum Den Haag, celebrating their 40th anniversary.
