Yves Saint Laurent's SELF 07 features Magnum photographers across six cities
Yves Saint Laurent's photographic project SELF, curated by creative director Anthony Vaccarello, concludes with its seventh chapter SELF 07, featuring six photographers from Magnum Photos. The participants—Harry Gruyaert, Olivia Arthur, Alex Webb, Takashi Homma, Daesung Lee, and Birdhead—each shot in a city with personal significance: Paris, London, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, and Shanghai. The resulting works will be exhibited simultaneously from June 9 to 12, 2022, across three continents. Previous SELF chapters included contributions from Daido Moriyama, Vanessa Beecroft, Bret Easton Ellis, Gaspar Noé, and Abel Ferrara, among others. The project is conceived as a free commentary on society reflecting Yves Saint Laurent's diverse identities and values.
