Veruschka : Here I am.

I do not know what to say about Veruschka, which you haven't already readed.

Wild, beautiful, gorgeous, magical and very intelligent women.

Still beautiful, it will take a long time until we meet some women among Veruschka.

My favourite Veruschka's photo.
Isn't she amazing?















This project shows a photographic collection resulting from the collaboration between Vera Lehndorff and Andreas Hubertus Ilse between 1992 and 1996.

Here, the photographer documents Vera Lehndorff's retrospective revitalization of her alter ego Veruschka from the distant past, a figure which she modifies and multiplies in the displayed works. By way of contrast, the exhibition also shows an archival display of her magazine articles in a ready-made installation.

For me, modeling was just an extension of theater, said Veruschka, here in 1968. I liked being on stage dressed up in costume. I like expressing myself.
