Although his name may be less familiar than those of his famous subjects, Mondino's photographs and video clips have infiltrated their way into today's pop culture. Through his highly innovative work as an art director and photographer, this creative genius has helped thrust some of the world's most popular performing artists into the spotlight. Nevertheless, he remains elusive, preferring to be inconspicuous -- "I'm not interested in ego, " claims Mondino, "I'm interested in echo." And to be certain, his career-making work with such artists as Madonna, Prince, Sting, David Bowie, and Brian Ferry reverberates within and outside the world of advertising, rock, and pop. This stunning, colorful, and wildly entertaining volume, overflowing with close to 300 illustrations, introduces Mondino to the public that has already proclaimed their love for his artistry. From Madonna's "Open Your Heart" and "Justify My Love" videos to Prince's provocative photo on the cover of his album Lovesexy, Mondino demonstrates not only incredible imagination, energy, and technical knowledge, but a unique ability to go beyond trends to capture the mood of the next moment. Deja vu is destined to propel this exciting artist toward the kind of celebrity he has brought his many subjects.
