Steidlville

During the last decade the body has occupied a central position in artistic practice as artists, film-makers and photographers have explored the physical as never before.
For Strip, more than 80 international photographers have responded to the editors\' invitation to interpret the act of stripping — whether it is their minds, their souls or their bodies that their subjects lay bare. The work collected here acts as an up-to-the-minute survey of contemporary photography worldwide.
At once provocative, sensual and thought-provoking, Strip makes an important contribution to the debate around the body without ever losing its playful lightness of touch.
Photographers whose work is featured include Anette Aurel, Mark Borthwick, Christophe Cufos, Horst Diekgerdes, Anders Edstrom, Jerome Esch, Steve Gallaghan, Mauricio Guillen, Hiromix, Takashi Homma, Drew Jarrett, Kent Baker, Marcelo Krasilcic, Marianne Müller, Jeremy Murch, Mika Ninagawa, Chris Plytas, Franáois Rotger, Steen Sundland, Miwa Tosaki, Toni Thorimbert, Marcel van der Vlugt, David Lasmet, Blaise Reuterswärd and others.
