The exhibition ‘A Diff erent Vision on Fashion Photography’ is an ode to Lindbergh’s multifaceted oeuvre from 1978 to the present day. Regarded as one of the most infl uential fashion photographers, the multimedia exhibition is presented in a thematic approach marking his creative development and focusing on his themes, imaginary world and passions through the years, into nine diff erent sections: Supermodels, Couturiers, Zeitgeist, Dance, The Darkroom, The Unknown, Silver Screen, Icons and an exclusive Rotterdam gallery. The ‘Rotterdam Gallery’, photographed for the October Issue of Dutch Vogue especially made for the exhibition, shows the results of Lindbergh’s shooting with Dutch top model Lara Stone and emerging talent Elise Hupkes in the Port of Rotterdam. 

Peter Lindbergh introduced a new realism into photograph with timeless images redefi ning the norms of beauty. Lindbergh’s visual idiom is infl uenced by the language of fi lm and by playing with the type of the strong, self-willed woman, from the femme fatale to the heroine, but also the female dancer and the actress. His oeuvre is characterised by portraits that radiate a certain lack of inhibition and physical grace. Based on an original concept by curator Thierry-Maxime Loriot, he explains that: « This exhibition is not a chronological survey, but a narrative in which you discover the universe of Peter Lindbergh through his unique eye, his strong themes and his collaborations with artists like Pina Bausch and Jenny Holzer, but also reveals the  humanism found in his work, seen in a social context. It says a lot about his own values, his vision on ageism, beauty and feminity, on social issues and about the boundless creativity and imagination found in his photographs. »
