THE LAST PAGE WITH… JUERGEN TELLER This image from über-photographer and A Mag favourite Juergen Teller’s latest exhibition, Enjoy Your Life, at the very unique Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn is from his series, Mit dem Teller nach Bonn and Plates/Teller. The German word for plate is teller and you might argue the plate acts as a synonym and stand-in for the photographer. The reason we love it – apart from the sense of exuberance and humour it conveys – is because the original image on the plate is one of Juergen and transgender model Tschan Andrews (who’s also the person holding the plate), featured exclusively in Aïshti’s very own limited edition art book Salame by Juergen Teller. “Enjoy Your Life” runs until 23 September, bundeskunsthalle.de

“Everything in a wide sense is a kind of self-portrait. It’s just the way you see things and you’re curious about certain things and just excited about them,” says JT.
