Changing Forms

The Order of Things

Norbert Schoerner

2001


Photographer Norbert Schoerner had his first commission for Face magazine in 1989, and has since been involved in advertising campaigns and projects for Yohji Yamamoto, Comme des Garçons, Nike, Armani, Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen and Shiseido.

The Order of Things, published in London by Phaidon, incorporates images from Japan and London interleaved with a series of portraits and personal photographic stories.

The circular form of the work allows it to function as a graphic narrative without beginning or end.
