Debuting as an exclusive exhibition at the LEICA GALLERY MUNICH, this project breaks with the conventions of classical portrait photography. Baldauf explores how personal parameters—such as heritage or age—modulate the dialogue between the image and the viewer. In the meticulous production by WhiteWall, this conceptual depth is rendered physically tangible through a brilliant material aesthetic.

The book, published by PRINTKULTUR, serves as the tactile counterpart to the exhibition. It curates iconic photographs and personal reflections into a comprehensive body of work that views fashion not as a facade, but as a cultural testament. Iridescent is a plea for the beauty of change and the multifaceted nature of human expression.
