Election Day, Juergen Teller

Election Day is a unique collaboration between Juergen Teller, Vivienne Westwood, former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and Westwoods husband, Andreas Kronthaler, and brings together images from Westwoods Spring/Summer 09 advertising campaign. The photographs show a romp starring Anderson, Westwood, Kronthaler and rock band The Queens of the Stone Age.

Tellers mise en scène escapes precise categorisation, combining images of the protagonists in a golf buggy, Anderson reading Platos Republic with her nipple visible through sheer fabric, Westwood and Anderson frolicking in clothes baskets in a laundrette, and the two beaming in front of a television announcing Barack Obamas imminent victory.
The cavorting characters elaborate a bizarre narrative which highlights the hope surrounding Obamas victory, the quintessential nature of Westwoods clothes, and Tellers signature style.
