Immersing himself in a collection of tens of thousands of books from the 7L – Karl Lagerfeld’s library – Rafał Milach explores standards of beauty and representation. Reverse is a collection of images mediated from album publications, where through artistic interventions, radical framing and collaging of sometimes iconic representations from art history and the fashion world, the artist attempts to deconstruct the male gaze and the strict rigor of body perception that has been created for the fashion industry.
The project was commissioned by L7 Library in collaboration with Magnum Photos.
