Roe Ethridge's New Book and Exhibition 'Rude in the Good Way'
Roe Ethridge's latest book and exhibition, 'Rude in the Good Way', is published in conjunction with the Spring/Summer 2026 issue of AnOther Magazine, marking the magazine's 25th anniversary. The American photographer discusses the collaborative process with his partner Lulu Sylbert, who appears in erotic portraits and also photographs him. The project includes images of Lindsay Lohan in a set-designed spoof of Miami and photographs of John Currin's pornographic paintings from the early 2000s. Ethridge, known for moving between fashion and fine art photography for nearly three decades, has shot campaigns for Balenciaga and staged conceptual exhibitions worldwide. His hyperreal digital images often feature imperfections, such as an early self-portrait with a black eye or a still life of fruit turning moldy. The book and show push his provocative visual experiments further, emphasizing collaboration and mutual investment.
