"Pfeiffer's first large-scale presentation in Europe outside his native Switzerland makes no distinction between the personal and the commercial in its curation."
"For him, it's more about creating an atmosphere than a literal depiction of garments. Where clothes do appear they rarely take centre stage."
"Even the images which eschew clothing - eschew people even - seem to pre-empt the texture and eclecticism of modern fashion art direction."
"One of the six rooms of the retrospective takes 'accumulation' as its theme: see, a tangle of blushing shell-on king prawns; humble potatoes, onions and bottled water."
Walter Pfeiffer's exhibition at Turin's Pinacoteca Agnelli presents a retrospective of his six-decade career, featuring around 100 images that merge personal and commercial styles. The exhibition includes a triptych of fashion photography with model Eva Herzigova, emphasizing atmosphere over literal clothing representation. Pfeiffer's work often features clothing in humorous contexts or focuses on the body itself, challenging traditional definitions of fashion photography. The exhibition's themes include 'accumulation,' showcasing everyday objects alongside vibrant imagery.
