For the Peruvian photographer, the essence of the exhibition lies in contemplating the process and implication involved in the act of removing one's clothes to become naked: a voyage from haute couture to nudity, including the intermediary process that implies baring the form.
From the glamour of top models, either nude or wearing haute couture and photographed with a touch of irony and a sense of humor, to the beauty of friends and anonymous individuals, Todo o Nada is a tribute to " Testino's woman," an iconic image of woman that he has defined and redefined over the course of his career, a woman who moves at totally opposing poles.
