The I need to live exhibition: the provocative Juergen Teller invites you into his world at the Grand Palais Ephémère in Paris. Discover our images.

A direct and realistic style, an assumed taste for kitsch and grotesque humor... Juergen Teller, the troublemaker of contemporary photography, takes up residence at the Grand Palais Éphémère for a photoshoot a little special! Going against the usual glamor of glossy photos, the artist plays here with the codes of good taste, daring an outrageous flash, integrating the shadow of his penis into his compositions before persisting in self-portraits unflattering which very rarely highlights it. Between the nude portrait of Vivienne Westwood and that (much more demure) of Iggy Pop, this exhibition presents a true summary of her photographic work. Sultry and decadent, this retrospective combines its most striking series with unique photos, from video extracts to artists' books, from vinyl covers to the most iconic installations in its repertoire. Whether in this trashy self-portrait of himself naked on his father's grave or in this curious series of Kim Kardashian in the countryside, Juergen Teller always chooses to exult in a raw truth. Fortunately, celebrities are not his only targets. The first of his victims? Himself.
