Filled with colours and tactile moments, Philippe Jarrigeon’s first monograph celebrates fifteen years of a portfolio that is full of expression and deliciously deviant. Published under the artistic direction of Beda Achermann, the book gathers a collection of personal and editorial shots of mixed genres, from portraits to still lifes and landscapes. The title, ‘Play’, hints at the imaginative forces at work; a world saturated in pop fantasy and inhabited by humour, with a keen eye for detail and a cheeky wink towards the offbeat and irreverent. Glam goes hand in hand with art house consumer takes, the exceptional with the trivial, the beautiful with the ugly, the too serious with the too funny.
