Published to coincide with the two artists' joint exhibition at OstLicht Galerie für Fotografie in Vienna, this large tome is the first artist's book conceived and designed jointly by Nobuyoshi Araki and Juergen Teller. Its four hundred pages stage a photo-jousting between two of the most original and influential voices working in photography today, each exploring in their own way existential questions of physicality and sexuality. The pages mix staged and candid colour portraits: a nude figure in a pearl-trimmed cap against a lace curtain, a shirtless man and a boy in a horned helmet leaning on a marble wall, and a doll lying on gravel beside old tyres; the cover is dominated by a huge hand-drawn letter A.
