Tracht : Photographs by Juergen Teller
The only photographer ever given exclusive access to all the contestants of a Miss World(r) event, Teller spent eight hours in one evening taking brutally intimate head shots of all 88 contestants. Shot away from the stage and removed from the spotlights, the contestants--with caked on makeup, unwavering smiles, and bright eyes--start to appear interchangeable, like a carnival of culturally diverse Barbie dolls requiring lapel pins to indicate country of origin. Tracht is German for "costume," as in folkloric dress. Tracht is Teller's take on the dressing, the commodification beauty takes when pushed, much like the rest of fashion, to the extreme.
