VICE / Jerry Hsu
Born in San Jose in 1981, a Taiwanese Californian, Jerry Hsu is famous for being a pro skater, and is an up and coming American contemporary photographer known for framing rawness and triviality. It comes as no surprise that after Vice curated his work In New York and Los Angeles, it is now time for Vice Italy and Ransom by adidas originals to present Jerry Hsu’s intriguing images in Milan: Goodbye for good: Photography by Jerry Hsu.
“As far as Vice’s role in photography, I think They developed a stereotypical style of photography, like the shocking photo of your friend throwing up, or a bar fight, or weird titty situations.” -Jerry Hsu
His photographic breakthrough can be traced back to his first feature in Vice in July 2004. Through his lens Jerry Hsu sees the world in ways that not many so-called photographers do, and portrays his surroundings in a rather entertaining and refreshing manner. The irony of simplicity, storytelling that subtly underlines the nowhere and the nobody. Jerry Hsu’s photography is an iconic yet stochastic example of the significance of Vice photography.
