Mario Testino

Malba - Coleccion Costantini, Buenos Aires

The work of one of the world's most prolific fashion and portrait photographers. The exhibition "In Your Face" is an intimate and provocative insight into the different aspects of Testino's work. It features many of his most audacious and daring pictures, giving the viewer close-up insight into his world through 122 personally selected images. The exhibition juxtaposes some of Testino's most well-known images from his many years working with magazines, including Vogue and Vanity Fair, and fashion houses such as Gucci and Versace, with candid and personal snapshots. It reflects the interplay of mass media, glamour and the icons of popular culture and, through its installation, offers the observer a more intimate and emotive connection with the works, their subjects, the artist himself and his fearless ability to let go. The selection of works represents the idea of a permanent collection taken from a museum, where different artists and genres are hung together. The full range of Testino's photographic career is shown here, with no one style prevailing over another, creating provocative contrasts and contradictions.
