PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A FAN / TRIBUTE PAGE, NOT THE OFFICIAL PAGE OF INEZ VAN LAMSWEERDE & VINOODH MATADIN!
The creative team Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin have a seemingly endless capacity to explore new visual territories. In the early 1990s they were among the first practitioners to show the possibilities of digital-imaging technology as a creative and meaningful medium. They developed a signature style of visual seduction paired with provocative narratives, which infused new ideas into fashion photography.
Since the early 1990s, they have created ground-breaking editorials for American, French, and Italian Vogue, V, Visionaire, The New York Times Magazine,and W. Their innovative approach is also seen in campaigns for Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Yohji Yamamoto, Helmut Lang, Dior, Miu Miu, and Estée Lauder.
In tandem with their fashion work, van Lamsweerde and Matadin create photography that has been well received in the contemporary art world. They are represented by the Matthew Marks Gallery where they have exhibited The New People, Part Two: Life on Earth (2005), The New People, Part One: Paradise (2003/4), ME (1999) and The Widow (1997). Their work has also been exhibited in galleries and museums internationally including the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Hayward Gallery, London, and the Guggenheim Museum, New York.
