Stage by Hedi Slimane offers a stunning collection of photographs that capture the intersection of fashion, music, and celebrity culture. Slimane, known for his collaborations with iconic musicians like David Bowie, The White Stripes, Beck, The Rolling Stones, Blondie, The Strokes, and The Libertines, provides a unique perspective on the rock concert experience.

 

In this photographic exploration, Slimane focuses less on the performers themselves and more on the enigmatic space they occupy. His images highlight the often-overlooked details of the stage—empty spaces, costumes, and the silent rituals that shape the persona of the rock star. The result is a meditative and visually captivating reflection on the mythology of the concert environment, showcasing the raw energy and personal rituals that come before the public spectacle.

 

A fascinating blend of fashion and music, Stage invites viewers to consider the sacred, almost sacrificial, space of the stage and the transformation of musicians into larger-than-life personalities. This book is an essential addition for fans of Slimane’s work, music lovers, and anyone interested in the cultural and visual impact of rock and roll.
