HARLEY WEIR - BEAUTY PAPERS

Published by Beauty Papers and exclusively distributed by IDEA in an edition of 1000 copies. The new book follows IDEA's first sold out title with Harley Weir, 2018's FATHER. Harley is one of the most exciting and sought after fashion photographers in the world. Her commercial work is hardly less uncompromising than her personal work.

The book's theme is the body, beauty, the artifice of artificial representation of women (and people) and the desire to be desired. It is extremely, ultra-enjoyably, visually impactful. Elements of body horror are shot through genuine beauty. It's not pretty, but it is pretty shocking. Over 208 pages, Harley illustrates every aspect of her aesthetic. It changes the way you see.

There is a wonderful written piece provided for the book by the legendary Charlotte Cotton. Entitled The Exquisite Corpse, Charlotte weaves conversations she has had with various artists – Guinevere van Seenus, Amalia Soto, Justine Kurland among them – into one dramatised text with stage directions by Asher Hartman.
