Aperture Magazine Releases Winter Issue, "Desire," Featuring an Expansive Interview with Renowned Fashion Photographer Juergen Teller(New York-December 12, 2023) This winter, Aperture magazine presents "Desire," an edition that considers desire as both an impulse and a state of mind. The issue features an expansive interview with Juergen Teller, whose photographs upend fashion's vocabulary of glamour and aspiration, on the occasion of his major exhibition Juergen Teller: i need to live, opening at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris on December 16, 2023. Photographers are natural voyeurs. The compulsion to want-or, in today's parlance, to manifest-emerges throughout the work in this issue. Artists such as Nakeya Brown, Nabil Harb, Oto Gillen, Marcelo Gomes, and Jonathas de Andrade consider the body, the natural world, beguiling objects, and direct physical expressions of desire as the material for indelible images. Andrew Maerkle profiles the celebrated Japanese photographer Ishiuchi Miyako, who for decades has conjured history through evocative personal objects, creating magnetic images that are at once surreal and surprisingly physical. Amanda Maddox considers a generation of women photographers whose work probes the feminist dynamics of seeing-and being seen. Moeko Fujii revisits Hisae Imai, an ascendent figure in Tokyo's art and fashion scenes of the 1960s, and Lucy McKeon finds new resonance in the sensual self-portraits Melissa Shook made as a young woman and mother. In "Desire," photographers render reality as unearthly-and take the viewer somewhere else altogether. For more information and to preview select content from the issue, visit aperture.org/magazine.

This fall, following acclaimed issues centered on Delhi, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and São Paulo, Aperture magazine presents “Accra,” an edition that considers the Ghanaian capital as a site of dynamic photographic voices and histories that connect visual culture in West Africa to the world. “Accra” is guest edited by the New York–based artist Lyle Ashton Harris and the Accra-based photographer and educator Nii Obodai.“This issue lays bare the current complexities around representation, not only through photography but also film, architecture, and spaces for gathering,” says Harris, who lived in Accra and taught at New York University’s Ghana campus for seven years. “What does it mean to bring a multiplicity of identities into one sphere? In what ways do conflicting ideas rub up against each other?”Ghana has been a home for compelling photography since the late nineteenth century, from the output of the hundred-year-old Deo Gratias photo studio to the stylish midcentury visions of James Barnor. Aperture Issue #252 “Accra” features exclusive interviews with Zohra Opoku, whose textile-based works evoke mortality and resilience, and John Akomfrah, the celebrated filmmaker who throughout his career has dramatized ideas about heritage and belonging between Ghana and the UK, and who will represent Britain in the 2024 Venice Biennale. Photographs by the cover artist Carlos Idun-Tawiah, whose work is featured in a portfolio, will be presented by Aperture at the Armory Show in New York, September 7–10.“Photography is a potent medium for situating history,” says Obodai. “Accra” looks both to the archives that catalog Ghana’s past—and the country’s central role in Pan-African thought and political activism—and to the visions of a new generation.

This summer, Aperture magazine presents “Being & Becoming: Asian in America,” a landmark issue that considers how artists use the medium of photography to grapple with questions of visibility, belonging, and what it means to be Asian American. Spanning photography from the nineteenth century to the present, and featuring the work of acclaimed figures such as An-My Lê and Reagan Louie, “Being & Becoming” is guest edited by Stephanie Hueon Tung, curator of photography at the Peabody Essex Museum in Massachusetts. “I hope this publication provides an opportunity to discover generative ways of seeing that are rooted in connection and empathy,” says Tung, who contributes a powerful essay to the magazine about the importance of envisioning Asian American lives. “It is through the work of artists that we can change our perceptions of the past and heal generational wounds.”In “Being & Becoming,” Ryan Lee Wong interviews An-My Lê and Pao Houa Her about photography, fiction, and truth in the aftermath of war. Bakirathi Mani looks at artists engaging with collections and public archives shaped by colonial histories, while Xueli Wang writes about those making work in domestic spaces as a way to push back against assimilation. Ken Chen discusses Toyo Miyatake’s striking record of life inside the Manzanar prison camp in the central Californian desert. Simon Wu reflects on performative conceptual photographer and documentarian of East Village life Tseng Kwong Chi and his downtown New York era. And Aleesa Pitchamarn Alexander speaks with Reagan Louie, who has spent more than fifty years addressing issues of migration, cultural transformation, and intergenerational dialogue through photography.Among the artist portfolios in “Being & Becoming,” Gina Osterloh—whose work is featured on the cover— experiments with the legibility and illegibility of identity. Leonard Suryajaya constructs exuberant scenes of life in Indonesia and Chicago. Arthur Ou considers the act of seeing the world as a precursor to understanding his place in it.

In role-play and sex-play, illuminating theater,jokes, leisure, and fantasy.This edition of Aperture focuses on "Playtime." Taking its name from the 1967 film by Jacques Tati, the articles and portfolios explore how photography illuminates, facilitates, and participates in the many definitions of play-from role-play and sex-play to theater and jokes to leisure and fantasy.The issue features an interview with artist Chrisian Marclay about improvisation and the relationship between images and sounds; a conversation with Erwin Wurm about the possibilities and risks of using humor in contemporary art; and new, never-before-published work by Sophie Calle.

This spring, Aperture magazine presents issue #250, “We Make Pictures in Order to Live,” which explores the relationship between photography and storytelling across generations and geographies. Featuring visual stories that excite, surprise, and illuminate daily life, this issue’s title is a nod to the late, celebrated writer Joan Didion, who declared, “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.” Aperture contributors explore the quiet poetry— or clamorous disorder—of the everyday, and attest that making photographs is a way of being aliveIn a sweeping introductory essay, Brian Dillon asks how we might view Didion through photography, and what images come to mind when we think of her writing. Thessaly La Force profiles Bieke Depoorter, who sees documentary photography both as a listening exercise and a form of investigation, blurring the lines between authorship, fiction, and truth. Alistair O’Neill takes stock of Nick Waplington’s vibrant records of subcultures on both sides of the Atlantic. Lena Fritsch writes about the “exquisite world-making” of photographer Eikoh Hosoe’s collaborative practice. Tiana Reid reconsiders Charles “Teenie” Harris’s vivid, midcentury portraits of Black life in Pittsburgh, several of which are published for the first time in this issue. Among the portfolios, Casey Gerald discusses Adraint Bereal’s images depicting the agony and ecstasy of being a Black college student in the US today. Yvonne Venegas searches for family ghosts in the Mexican landscape, which poet and novelist Daniel Saldaña París describes as “an exercise in freedom and intelligence.” Kamayani Sharma looks at Gauri Gill’s images of a community masquerade in the Indian state of Maharashtra, and its potential to reverse power dynamics inherent in seeing and being seen.  Durga Chew-Bose meditates on the photographs of Mary Manning—also featured on the cover— and their poetic sensitivity toward story and the everyday. For Endnote, Aperture poses six questions for the painter Jordan Casteel. In The PhotoBook Review—included within every issue of Aperture—Bruno Ceschel speaks with photographer, bookmaker, and publisher Alejandro Cartagena about his work.

Anniversary issue features seven original commissions by leading photographers and artists, and seven essays about Aperture’s legacy by award-winning writers and criticsThis fall, Aperture celebrates seventy years in print with an issue that explores the magazine’s past while charting its future. Reflecting on the founding editors’ original mission and drawing on Aperture’s global community of photographers, writers, and thinkers, this issue features seven original artist commissions as well as seven essays by some of the most incisive writers working today––each engaging with the magazine’s archive in distinct ways. Among the original artist commissions, Iñaki Bonillas selects iconic images and texts from the Aperture’s archive from the 1950s to produce open-ended narrative collages. Dayanita Singh reflects on the 1960s and the family album as a serious photographic form. Yto Barrada enacts sculptural interventions to issues and spreads from the 1970s, using remnants of the late artist Bettina Grossman’s color paper cutouts. Mark Steinmetz draws inspiration from the magazine’s Summer 1987 issue, “Mothers & Daughters,” to compose a photo essay of his wife, the photographer Irina Rozovsky, and their daughter Amelia. Considering the matrix of censorship, art, and religion in the 1990s, John Edmonds creates a tableau about family, faith, and grief. Hannah Whitaker explores the turn of the century, and the ways in which our anxieties about technology create speculative worlds. And Hank Willis Thomas draws on Aperture’s issues from the 2010s to create a series of collages that reference traditional quilt patterning, revivifying history and remixing the present.Looking back upon Aperture’s legacy, Darryl Pinckney reconsiders the photographer and editor Minor White, whose vision shaped the magazine for nearly two decades, beginning in the 1950s. Olivia Laing writes about the 1960s and the tensions between reportage and artistry in the work of Dorothea Lange, W. Eugene Smith, and others. Geoff Dyer revisits to the 1970s, which he considers a decade of new ideas and deeper reflection on the medium, looking into the works of William Eggleston and Ralph Eugene Meatyard. Brian Wallis looks back at the politics, art, identity, and the “culture wars” of the 1980s, while Susan Stryker reflects on Aperture’s archive from the 1990s and its foregrounding of identity beyond the gender binary, evoking Catherine Opie, Elaine Reichek, and Aperture’s pathbreaking “Male/Female” issue. Lynne Tillman illustrates how photographers searched for the tangible in an increasingly digital world in the 2000s, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Salamishah Tillet shows how the photo album became a source of connection and narrative amid the information overabundance of the 2010s.

This fall, Aperture magazine presents an issue exploring the idea of cosmologies—the origins, histories, and local universes that artists create for themselves.In an exclusive interview, Greg Tate speaks to Deana Lawson about how her monumental staged portraits trace cosmologies of the African diaspora. “What I’m doing integrates mythology, religion, empirical data, dreams,” says Lawson, whose work is the subject of major solo exhibitions this year at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.In an in-depth profile of Judith Joy Ross and her iconic portraiture, Rebecca Bengal shows how a constellation of strangers is brought together through Ross’s precise, empathic gaze. “Ross is guided by a rapt, intense, wholehearted belief in the individual,” Bengal writes.A portfolio of Michael Schmidt’s acutely observed work from the 1970s and ’80s reveals the realms within realms of a once divided Berlin, while Feng Li’s surprising black-and-white snapshots zigzag between absurdist dramas in various Chinese cities. Ashley James distills the surreal visions of Awol Erizku’s still lifes and tableaux; Casey Gerald contributes a sweeping ode to Baldwin Lee’s stirring 1980s portraits of Black Southern subjects; and Pico Iyer meditates on Tom Sandberg’s grayscales marked by both absence and reverence.Throughout “Cosmologies,” artists cast their attention on the great mysteries of both personal and shared lineages, tracking their locations in space, time, and history, and reminding us of the elegant enigmas that can be unraveled close to home.

This summer, Aperture presents a special issue focused on the relationship between photography, urbanism, and activist trajectories from Delhi. Guest edited by Rahaab Allana, the Alkazi Foundation's lead curator, the issue explores multiple incarnations of the city¿s photographic culture, from O. P. Sharmäs experimental works from the 1960s to Aditi Jain¿s intimate tableaux of Delhi¿s trans community today. Interviews with revered writer Arundhati Roy and with Bangladesh¿s best-known photojournalist, Shahidul Alam, illuminate sites of protest in the city and throughout South Asia. Skye Arundhati Thomas revisits Sheba Chhachhi¿s feminist staged portraits from the 1980s and ¿90s. Featuring a cross section of dynamic image-makers and thinkers, such as Jyoti Dhar, Sunil Gupta, Ishan Tankha, and Anshika Varma, and emerging voices Uzma Mohsin and Prarthna Singh, the issue is a distinctive meditation on regionalism, politics, and identity, through archival and contemporary photographic viewpoints.

Marking the one-year anniversary of New York¿s shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Aperture magazine¿s ¿New York¿ issue honors the city through photographs and essays by visionary artists and writers, from Roe Ethridge and Rosalind Fox Solomon to Hilton Als and Joseph O¿Neill. In ¿New York,¿ acclaimed photojournalist Philip Montgomery speaks with the New York Times Magazine¿s director of photography, Kathy Ryan, about covering the city¿s hospitals at the height of the pandemic. Irina Rozovsky contributes magisterial, sun-dappled visions of Brooklyn¿s Prospect Park landscape. Hua Hsu writes poignantly about the archival photographs that emerged after a fire at the Museum of Chinese in America. Antwaun Sargent speaks with the founders of See In Black, an initiative to support Black photographers and communities. And Tanisha C. Ford profiles Jamel Shabazz, whose indelible images of 1980s street culture are icons of style and joy. Our lives and our city have been transformed over the past year, yet this issue reminds us of how much there is to discover, and relish, when New York comes roaring back.

This winter, in the wake of a pandemic, global protest movements, and a dramatic presidential election in the United States, Aperture releases ¿Utopia,¿ an issue that shows that other ways of living are possible¿when the collective will exists.In ¿Utopia,¿ artists, photographers, and writers envision a world without prisons, document visionary architecture, honor queer space and creativity, and dream of liberty through spiritual self-expression. They show us that utopia is not a far-fetched scheme, but rather a way of reshaping our future.In a profile, Salamishah Tillet considers Tyler Mitchell¿s visions of Black people resting in open green space, a democratizing landscape in which Mitchell continuously asks himself: ¿What are the things that I can do to lessen the inherent hierarchies in the photography-shoot structure of seeing and being seen?¿ Sara Knelman shows the freeing possibilities of the feminist collage works of Lorna Simpson, Mickalene Thomas, Sara Cwynar, and Alanna Fields. Julian Rose speaks with the filmmaker Matt Wolf about his latest documentary, Spaceship Earth (2020), which follows the people who created Biosphere 2 in 1991. And Antwaun Sargent traces Black queer artists¿ journeys into immersive desire. ¿Utopiä also includes compelling portfolios by David Benjamin Sherry, Allen Frame, and Balarama Heller, whose respective works span time and geography, from bohemian New York to a Hare Krishna retreat in India.¿The utopian imagination tends to stir when the world feels simultaneously wrecked and malleable,¿ the writer Chris Jennings notes, in a series of reflections by writers such as Olivia Laing and Nicole R. Fleetwood. Notions of utopia shouldn¿t be restricted to the fantasy of a fully realized ideal society, or the outsize, often failed, sometimes disastrous schemes and social experiments of the past. Instead, we might consider utopia a mode of vision and thought that shields us from hopelessness.

Wolfgang Tillmans guest-edits Aperture's "Spirituality" issue, which features contributions by artists, scientists, and writers who examine the different ways photography has been used to represent humanity's longing for spiritual connection and solidarity.In a time of hyperactive communication, unending consumerism, and political confusion, Wolfgang Tillmans guest-edits an issue of Aperture on the subject of spirituality and its connection to solidarity. "People are touched and moved by experiences of genuine solidarity," Tillmans notes. "Solidarity describes a degree of selflessness, or experiences that remind people of values higher than the pure materialistic culture we're in." This issue, featuring contributions by leading artists, scientists, novelists, and philosophers, will look at different ways of considering humanity's longing for spiritual connection-from the shared sense of purpose behind global mass protests, to the collective spirit of the dance floor, to how image-makers have strived to visualize the intangible and the inexplicable. Key features include: a look at the role of spiritualism in the work of Minor White, Aperture's founding editor; esteemed physicist Peter Galison on the recent landmark image of a black hole; David Swindells's chronicle of underground rave culture in London; Siddhartha Mitter on images of protests in Hong Kong, Cairo, and Standing Rock; a collaborative project by Olivia Laing and Mary Manning; Sean O'Toole on Santu Mofokeng and South Africa's spiritual landscapes; plus portfolios by Susan Hiller, Mare Nero, Harit Srikhao, and more.

More than two million people are currently incarcerated in the United States. While the country accounts for 5 percent of the global population, it is home to 25 percent of the world's prison population. How can photography help us understand this vast system, and the lives shaped-and disrupted-by mass incarceration? From a reflection on the origins of the mug shot to stark aerial views of supermax prisons to recent projects focused on everyday life in New York's Riker's Island, Louisiana's Angola Prison, and California's San Quentin Prison, this issue considers the visual record, and human toll, of a national crisis that is often removed from public view.

This fall, as debates around nationalism and borders in North America reach a fever pitch, Aperture magazine releases ¿Native America,¿ a special issue about photography and Indigenous lives, guest edited by the artist Wendy Red Star. ¿Native Americä considers the wide-ranging work of photographers and lens-based artists who pose challenging questions about land rights, identity and heritage, and histories of colonialism. Several contributors revisit or reconfigure photographic archives¿from writer Rebecca Bengal¿s look at the works of Richard Throssel and Horace Poolaw, to artist Duane Linklater¿s intervention in a 1995 issue of Aperture, ¿Strong Hearts,¿ the magazine¿s first volume devoted to Native American photographers.¿I was thinking about young Native artists,¿ says Red Star, ¿and what would be inspirational and important for them as a road map.¿That map spans a diverse array of intergenerational image-making, counting as lodestars the meditative assemblages of Kimowan Metchewais and installation works of Alan Michelson, the stylish self-portraits of Martine Gutierrez, and the speculative mythologies of Karen Miranda Rivadeneira and Guadalupe Maravilla. ¿Native Americä also features contributions by distinguished writers and curators, including strikingly personal reflections from acclaimed poets Tommy Pico and Natalie Diaz.With additional essential contributions from Rebecca Belmore and Julian Brave NoiseCat, as well as a portfolio from Red Star, the issue looks into the historic, often fraught relationship between photography and Native representation, while also offering new perspectives by emerging artists who reimagine what it means to be a citizen in North America today.
