- Men, Alexander Skarsgård and Juergen Teller, video still, Luleå, 2023. © Juergen Teller, All rights Reserved
This short film, narrated by Teller himself, is centred upon a humourous tale recounted by Juergen’s new father-in-law of the realities of extreme cold temperatures experienced whilst constructing a power plant in Siberia during military service. Teller restages the story with the help of his friend and actor, Alexander Skarsgård. The warmth of their friendship is strongly contrasted with the cool detachment of Teller’s relationship with his father, epitomized by Juergen’s honest reflection upon a black and white photograph from the family album.

Juergen Teller has successfully navigated both the art world and fashion photography since beginning his career in the late 80s. Driven by a desire to tell a story in every picture he takes, he has shaped his own distinct and instantly recognisable style which combines humour, self-mockery and an emotional honesty. Juergen Teller is internationally renowned for his candid portraits of celebrities, provocative fashion editorials and distinctive campaigns for various designers. Teller has also produced major bodies of personal works in which he explores himself, his family, his roots, and his identity.

After running for 25 years a gallery outside of Paris in Barbizon, Suzanne Tarasieve opened her first space in Paris in 2003, in the Louise Weiss neighborhood. In 2011, Suzanne Tarasieve moved her main gallery space to Le Marais, showing established and emerging artists, with an international exhibition program underlining the great historical transformations of the XXth and XXIst century. The gallery produces and exhibits works spawning from german neo-expressionism to recent works by emerging artists. Through a cooperative and horizontal approach, the gallery is committed to supporting artists in the development of their projects and fostering encounters and dialogues between artists of different generations, exhibition curators, institutions, and journalists. After the passing of Suzanne Tarasieve in December 2022, the gallery is taken over by her four employees who perpetuate the work of the now legendary founder.
