Juergen Teller – Eating at Hotel Il Pellicano
Posted by Fabio 7 October 2013
Juergen Teller photographs extravagantly elegant food from the celebrated Hotel Il Pellicano in Tuscany. Known for subverting the conventions of fashion and photography, Teller here turns his eye to the complexity and originality of two-Michelin-starred food created by chef Antonio Guida. Eleven menus of five ambitiously inspirational courses encapsulate the unique, offhanded chic of the Hotel Il Pellicano, in Teller’s second photographic collaboration with this exclusive Italian retreat.
Eating at Hotel Il Pellicano, published by Violette Editions, is a photography book whose subject is food, style and place. Each menu is named after one of today’s illustrious visitors – Missoni, Borghese – conjuring delicious fantasies of Italian holidays in days of endless sunshine. Writer Will Self sets the scene in a preface despatched from his suite.
