Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn

TASCHEN

Author: Julia Kahl

There aren’t many bands that are as strongly associated with a certain aesthetic as Depeche Mode. No wonder, this timeless, melancholic look has been created by Dutch photographer, film director and video director Anton Corbijn since the 80s and has contributed to the band’s casual and cool look ever since.

The 512-page book Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn is not the first to reveal this liaison, but with more than 500 photographs, many still unpublished, from Corbijn’s private archive, his handwritten explanations of the photos, and an in-depth interview with the artist, this is the highly anticipated, lower-priced follow-up to the limited edition of 2020.

Created in close collaboration with Depeche Mode, DM by AC once again showcases Anton Corbijn’s impressive influence on the world’s biggest cult band and celebrates one of the most creative and enduring collaborations in music history. In this short video, Anton Corbijn himself introduces the book.

The book is very well designed, the balance between image proportion and white space is just right, the typography simple but not boring. Not only for fans of the band a delight for the eyes, but a great photo book!
