Anaked Teller cradled like achild by Rampling, who had bed sheets pulled up over her chest. ​ “That was awonderful photograph and awonderful experience. We’re still friends,” he says. We’re here to chat about the photographer’s latest photo book, Juergen Teller, Donkey Man and Other Stories, Editorial Works Volume 1. Acollection of photos shot over aperiod of 30years, it’s an assemblage of editorials, personal family scenes, celebrities, and typical Teller takes on fashion, romance, food, life, death, alcohol, nudity and marriage.

I guess [it’s about] the responsibility of what you do with the work, what you want to say for the work and how sensitive, cruel or harsh you want to be with everything,” he says. ​ “That’s something you always think about when taking aphotograph.” Teller brings up this story with the wonder and admiration of a young child. He holds up his coffee-table book and points out each of the kids who was interviewed on video for the series. “It was magical. This little guy is so sweet,” he says. Screenshots from the video footage feature the kids’ most memorable quotes, and the photographer reads the captions aloud in a singsong voice, as though he were reading a bedtime fairy tale: “Juergen Teller came up with something quite special there. Other photographers would never do that.” “I wish he could live at my house.” “Juergen Teller just wants puzzling things. Other people just want beautiful things. And he does it in ad photos, too.” Shown concurrently in the smaller exhibition room, Enjoy Your Life! Junior is the result of a school-led outing by 6 and 7-year-old students of Bubenreuth Primary to see Teller’s exhibition Juergen Teller at Kunstpalais in Erlangen (2017). An unusual exhibition to take primary school students to, the children were surprised and inspired by the honesty in Teller’s work. Reversing the situation of Go-Sees, Teller responded to the students’ enthusiasm with a spontaneous visit to the school during which he encouraged them to take photographs of each other and the artist himself. Subverting the conventional relationship of the artist and model, the children playfully re-enact some of Teller’s most iconic images.

In his time, Teller has shot naked pictures of Helen Mirren, Vivienne Westwood, Lily Cole, Lara Stone and himself – many times. But as he points out, ​ “within the percentage of nudes in the book, it’s actually not so much.”Zwei Schäuferle mit Kloß und eine Kinderportion Schnitzel mit Pommes Frites. Göttingen: Steidl, 2003 The Go-Sees is a seminal work from Teller’s early career. Produced over the course of one year from May 1998, and shot from the threshold to Teller’s West London studio, the title of this series documents an industry term for a photographer’s first meeting with a new model. Unlike a casting, the ‘Go-See’ is a model’s testing ground; an open-ended encounter between the photographer and model, without the prospect of a definite commission. Like casting appointments, these events determine the potential career success for the model. Teller’s series obliquely interrogates the fashion industry with which he is involved.
