The Uncompromising Photographer Reveals His New Year Plans While His Son Forecasts Soccer’s Major Moves
Artist, fashion photographer and avid sports fan Juergen Teller teams up with his seven-year-old son Ed to set goals for the year ahead. With his widely recognizable raw style, Teller has shot every Marc Jacobs campaign since 1998, and his Contax G2 flash photography has featured in AnOther, Purple and in a number of international editions of Vogue, as well as in exhibitions at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, the Haus der Kunst Munich, and the Tate Modern, among other prestigious venues. His work has long enlisted his family, in particular Ed, who as an infant became the subject of the 2006 series Ed in Japan. In May, the Tellers watched as Dad’s beloved Bayern Munich took on Chelsea in the Champions League Final. Striker Didier Drogba famously sunk Bayern in the penalty shoot-out, but things will be different next time around, according to prescient young enthusiast Ed.

Extraterrestrial Christmas Adornments Come to Life in Margot Bowman's Fantastical Animations
Our second festive short from creative wunderkind Margot Bowman once again transports us 50 years into the future, where Christmas decor in 2062 seeks to enliven a society devoid of today's comforts. The ‘Beau-tee’ uses positive energy to infuse our soon-to-be artificial world with nature in the form of holly, mistletoe and other Christmas flora. The ‘Anxi-oh,’ meanwhile, has tentacles that soak up our anxieties to create a stress-free season—something we could likely use today, too. “We are becoming immersed in an increasingly digital world and developing deep emotional attachments to electronic devices around us,” Margot explains of her inspiration. “The interesting thing about using the future to tell stories is that if we don’t like this version of how the world might be, we can act now.” Creating these installments was no small feat for the animator, who reveals just how she did it below.
