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.Artists:Evelyn Bencicova, Markus Burke, Emanuele Centi, Jay Davies, Samantha Evans, Anna Försterling, Mia Macfarlane und Julien Crouigneau aka French Cowboy, Katja Heinemann, Horst Herget, Kenny Lemes, Dorian Ulises Lo´pez Maci´as, Shinichi Maruyama, Sara Mautone, Mariam Medvedeva, Henny de la Motte, Justyna Nerang, Hanna Pallot, Julia Radionova, Remi Rebillard, Red Rubber Road, Ryuta Sakurai, Tobias Slater Hunt, Wolfie Slowak, Gordon Spooner & Louise Rocard, Maxim Vakhovskiy, Sean Patrick Watters, Roger Weiss, Dimitros Yeros, Lina Zangers
