Erotish

Erotish featuring  design and edit by Jurgen Maelfeyt, ills colour, b&w paperback, edition of 700. 23.5 × 31 cm, 80 pages. 2020. Her name is Julia, his name is Vincent. They met almost 10 years ago, and have been creating together for 5 years. ‘Erotish’ is an exercise in style, inspired by the aesthetics of the 1980s. Nostalgic for a time when “everything seemed positive, carefree, and where aesthetics were the priority”, the photographers play with retro codes, a few clothes in satin, naked bodies on motorcycles, a subtle blurry effect… But far from producing a vulgar sexy collection, or merely copy and pasting a certain aesthetic, the duo reclaims to modernize this aesthetic.
