Let the Sun Shine

Tagged:  •    •  

Solar power may be the obsession du jour, but Chic has never seen it like this before! Visionaire 55 Solar, the new photograpy book by the artsy mag, features snaps by the likes of Mario Sorrenti, Yoko Ono, Ryan McGinley, and Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. When you peruse the tome inside, the pages are stark and white, while the images are rendered in black and white. But take the book outside in direct sunlight, and everything comes to life…in every hue of the rainbow. Take that, Hypercolor!
