THE OPÉRA

The meanwhile tenth edition of THE OPÉRA is an anniversary edition that has been invented somewhat anew, but nevertheless remains true to its position: a classic and modern interpretation of the human body, with all its facets, perspectives, manifestations, and interpretations. But what is new? For the first time, a male title motif interrogates the boundaries and definitions of masculinity and femininity. The edition is divided up into a classic and a contemporary act, separated by a so-called intermezzo. The classic section presents numerous sequences of black-and-white photos with very sensitive looks at the body, while the contemporary section is extremely colorful-is designed in an almost loud way. For the first time, a woman was responsible for the design of this edition: the just twenty-two-year-old Christina Rollny has given Volume X an experimental and simultaneously refreshingly young look.
