THE MYTH - JUERGEN TELLER KARTONIERT (TB)

The latest collaboration with his wife Dovile Drizyte  The Myth is Juergen Teller's playful
interpretation of the legs up fertility myth. Following the humorous 2021 series We are
building our future together in which the Tellers dressed up as construction workers on
building sites  this project reflects the next stage of their relationship as they start a
family together. The enchanting location is the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni on Lake Como where
the Tellers created images in each and every of the hotel's 97 unique rooms-in some we see the
whole of Drizyte's naked body  while in others her cropped legs or feet appear unexpectedly:
peeking behind duvets  curtains and furniture  tender juxtapositions in Teller's loving gaze.
The theatricality and ambiguity of these performed scenarios recalls Teller's seminal 2004
series Louis XV shot with Charlotte Rampling at the Hôtel de Crillon  Paris. This conscious
revisiting of a prior experience is firmly embedded in Teller's mythology  yet this time there
is an air of serendipity. Run by the same family for four generations and shaped by tradition 
the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is filled with art alluding to motherhood and the family unit.
Paintings and sculptures of pregnancy  babies  storks and cherubs became an unexpected good
luck charm for the Tellers' future parenthood and lend their amorous beauty to these deeply
personal images  embodiments of the trust and creative connection between Teller and Drizyte.
