Reverse 2024 (B)

books / 2024

Immersing himself in the collection of tens of thousands of books 7L - Karl Lagerfeld's library, Rafał Milach examines the standards of beauty and representation. "Reverse" is a collection of images appropriated from printed publications where, through artistic interventions, radical cropping, and collaging of sometimes iconic images from the history of art, photography, and fashion, the artist attempts to deconstruct the male gaze and the strict rigor of body perception that was created for the needs of the fashion industry. Project made in collaboration with Magnum Photos
