中文简介：

尤尔根·特勒（Juergen Teller）曾说过：“我从未真正把任何人当作模特，即使是模特。我选择拍摄的一切，我都认为是美丽的。”特勒以这种解放的信念，拍摄了他为《W》杂志2021年最佳表演期拍摄的照片。本书是特勒对他在这个有争议的作品集上收到的反馈的幽默回应。

《最佳表演》是《W》杂志的年度期刊，展示了由该杂志的大编辑琳恩·赫施博格（Lynn Hirschberg）选择的电影明星。在洛杉矶，特勒共拍摄了28位演员，有成熟的，也有新兴的，从米歇尔·法伊弗（Michelle Pfeiffer）和乔治·克鲁尼（George Clooney）到史蒂文·元（Steven Yeun）和奥特玛拉·马雷罗（Otmara Marrero），他们都与汽车合影——这是他想要庆祝的城市的典型特征。《W》杂志对这一结果感到高兴——名人看起来非常正常，时尚被认为是享受生活的一种方式——但网上的反应不一。特勒被称赞为 “完美的选择”，因为他“厌恶过度的魅力”，但也受到了批评，很多人误解了他的语气和工作方法。本书介绍了泰勒选择的一些“关于他作品的注解”的截图，这是一面反映社交媒体的镜子，也是一个有趣的提醒，即美是我们选择的任何东西。

英文简介：

“I never really think of anyone as models, even the models,” Juergen Teller has said, and “Everything I choose to photograph, I think is beautiful.” It was with these liberating beliefs in mind that Teller approached his photographs for the 2021 Best Performances issue of W magazine. Notes About My Work is Teller's tongue-in-cheek response to the feedback he received on this controversial portfolio.

Best Performances is an annual issue of W, showcasing cinema's stars of the moment as chosen by the magazine's larger-than-life editor-at-large Lynn Hirschberg. In Los Angeles Teller photographed 28 actors in total, the established and the emerging, from Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney to Steven Yeun and Otmara Marrero, all posing with (and sometimes even on top of) cars―a quintessential feature of the city he wanted to celebrate. W was delighted with the result―celebrities looking fabulously normal, fashion championed as a way to enjoy life―yet online reactions were mixed. Teller was praised as “a perfect choice” for his “aversion to excess glamour,” but also subject to criticism, much misinterpreting his tone and working methods. This book presents Teller's selection of screenshots of some of these “notes about his work”―a mirror onto social media and a playful reminder that beauty is whatever we choose it to be.
