With his fourth book of sensuous and evocative photos, Jeux de Peau, we caught up with South African–born, Los Angeles–based Henrik Purienne, while he sat in his garden opening the first box of his just-arrived new books.
and by the host of brands who commission work from him simply as Purienne, is less a mere photographer than a conjurer of worlds. In Purienne World, the sun is always shining, there’s probably a pool nearby, and the only obligations at hand seem to center around a hedonistic and very chic sense of quietude.
Did you consciously set out to photograph this kind of dreamy lifestyle that’s kind of become your calling card—or is that just the way things happened? I’ve always been interested in architecture, and design, and aesthetics, but I trained as a filmmaker in South Africa, where I’m from, and I worked in television making documentaries for about 10 years. Eventually I started collecting investment furniture, and I went a little overboard, so I teamed up with another guy and started a business selling furniture from the Bauhaus period to the time of the Memphis School.

Report: Oyster Cracker–Wise, Nation Doing Pretty GoodWASHINGTON—Citing their ready availability and consistent quality, a report released Monday by the Brookings Institution confirmed that, as far as oyster crackers go, the nation is doing pretty good. “The United States is currently in a very respectable place in terms of oyster crackers, and at present, any existing oyster cracker–related concerns are minimal,” said the report’s lead researcher, Kevin Purcell, who offered the prevalence of oyster crackers in supermarkets, the rarity with which they are discovered broken, and the fact that packets of the crackers—often two at a time—are handed out free of charge with many soups and chowders as clear evidence that the country is in a solid spot, oyster cracker–wise. “Using these small crackers as our sole metric, the findings could not be any clearer: We are doing well as a nation. Our needs for oyster crackers are being met and then some. Could things take a downturn in the future vis-a-vis oyster crackers? Certainly. But there is nothing to suggest that we are moving in that direction as of now.” Researchers acknowledged, however, that despite current positive trends, the country likely would never match up to the golden era of oyster crackers of the late 1840s.
