Where does creativity come from? How does one find their visual language? Where does one draw inspiration from? I want to learn about lives of creative people. To find some answers I meet up with some of our artists to have conversations about their lives, their working processes and about what keeps them doing what they do.

Juergen Teller arrived in Göttingen a couple of days ago together with his wife Docile Drizyte and their newborn daughter Iggy to work on his upcoming books. Between two proofing runs, Juergen Teller had time to record a new episode of »The Steidl Hotel«. Steidl told us that we had exactly 30 minutes to finish the episode and that we had to talk very quickly. This time we are recording right next to the publishing house at the Halftone Hotel, where artists and guests usually stay during their visit at Steidl, and each room has been dedicated to a different artist. We walk up the squeaky stairs of the quest house and sit down in the Jim Dine apartment.
We talk about Juergen Teller's upcoming major solo exhibition in Paris later this year, the accompanying catalog, his approach to fashion photography, and his thoughts on AI generated images.
Juergen Teller's five new books The Myth, Jurgaičiai, Fashion Photography for America 1999–2016, More Handbags as well as the exhibitions catalogue i need to live will soon be available on our website.
The exhibition "i need to live" will be on view at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris from December 16, 2023 to January 9, 2024.
