MILES ALDRIDGE OTHER PICTURES

Klappentext Other Pictures is Miles Aldridge's surreal take on the traditional family album! and an autobiographical sequel to Picturesfor Photographs (Edition 7L! 2009)! in which Aldridge presented his fashion drawings and photographs. Other Picturesopens with seductive black and white images of Aldridge's then lover! now wife! model Kristen McMenamy. Taken in hotelrooms after fashion shows from London to New York between 1994 and 1997! the photos are spontaneous andnarcissistic! and show the young Aldridge investigating the medium of 35 mm photography as much as his unfoldingromance with McMenamy. The second part of Other Pictures is an introspective portrait in deep colour of Aldridge'smarried life with children. Cinematic and beautiful but filled with anxiety! these images show Aldridge's children asvacant and sometimes corpse-like actors in the photographer's imagined drama of family life.Miles Aldridge! born in London in 1964! has published his photographs in such influential magazines as American andItalian Vogue! Numéro! The New York Times! and The New Yorker. His work has been exhibited in numerous groupshows! and his solo shows include those at Brancolini Grimaldi in Florence! Hamiltons Gallery in London! and StevenKasher Gallery in New York. Aldridge's work is held in the National Portrait Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museumin London! and in the International Center for Photography in New York.
