No fashion, please! – the rejection of traditional ideas of fashion and beauty characterizes the exhibition of the Kunsthalle Wien’s autumn program focusing on photography and fashion. Nineteen solo presentations outline the contemporary international photography scene that explores the fundamental relationship between bodies and clothes, the dialectics between the form of the body and its appearance. The selected photographers are rooted in the tradition of body art and strongly rely on references to installations, ceremonies, and rituals. The media strategies employed span from staged photographic images, projections, and performances to body sculptures, video and film works.

Participating artists are: Chan-Hyo Bae, Tracey Baran, Jeff Bark, Leigh Bowery/ Fergus Greer, Steven Cohen/Marianne Greber, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Matthias Herrmann, Lea Golda Holterman, Izima Kaoru, Luigi & Luca, Sandra Mann, Martin & The evil eyes of Nur, Brigitte Niedermair, Erwin Olaf, Alex Prager, Hanna Putz, Viviane Sassen, Sophia Wallace, Bruce Weber
