Pierre et Gilles
Pierre et Gilles is the artist name of the couple of French artists and photographers Pierre Commoy and Gilles Blanchard. They are mostly famous for their elaborate portraits in life-size sophisticated and colorful sceneries and backgrounds. They build these sets themselves in their own artist studio.
An additional painting work finishes the art pieces once the original print has been printed, usually on large-format canvasses. This implies that the works of art are initially « unique » pieces.
Their work is very much inspired by pop culture and gay culture, as well as religion. The portraits are those of their friends and relations, celebrities or not. They have worked mostly in the music world - French music mainly, but not only - and the artists portrayed include Sylvie Vartan, Etienne Daho, Madonna, Stromae, Lio, etc. They also worked in the fashion world (Jean-Paul Gaultier, Naomi Campbell, Paloma Picasso) and the film industry (Charlotte Rampling, Rossy de Palma, Laetitia Casta, Isabelle Huppert), among others.
Many retrospective publications have been published about their work since the eighties. More recently (2019), they published "La Fabrique des Idoles" with Editions Xavier Barral.

Pogo, Claudio
Claudio Pogo is a German artist, and half of a Berlin based artist duo with Magda Wysocka. Their art practice is based on collecting and re-contextualising photography, found books, and other archival material in order to create new visual narratives.
In the fall of 2016 they decided to combine their experiences in photography, printmaking and publishing to create a space that would allow them to design, prototype and produce their publications completely in house: "Outer Space Press" was created from a dream of being truly independent.
Claudio has a background in publishing and photography, running PogoBooks since 2010. Among his most recent photobooks is "Claudio Pogo's Guide", inspired by William Eggleston and published by PogoBooks (2021).

Power, Mark
As a child, Mark Power (Born 1959, Harpenden, UK) discovered his father's home-made enlarger in the family attic, a contraption consisting of an upturned flowerpot, a domestic light bulb and a simple camera lens. His interest in photography probably began at this moment, though he later went to art college to study life-drawing and painting instead.
Mark Power joined the Magnum Photos agency in 2002; he has published numerous photobooks, recently through his imprint Globtik Books and the project "Good Morning America" (5 volumes) with the British publisher GOST.
