PIRELLI CALENDAR 1984 SERIES
About The PIRELLI CALENDAR series: the revival of the legendary Pirelli Calendar after a ten-year hiatus caused by the oil crisis. Shot in the Bahamas by Uwe Ommer, the series stands out for its innovative, subliminal advertising approach. Rather than displaying the product directly, Ommer integrates the tread pattern of the P6 tires—both sculpturally and abstractly into the sand and via body paint on the models. Originally comprising 13 images arranged on reversible pages, this collection is a definitive benchmark of 1980s fashion photography and design.

REPRESENTED ARTIST
Uwe Ommer (born 1943) in Bergisch Gladbach is a German photographer. Uwe Ommer became fascinated with photography at a young age. Initially sparked by his interest in photographing birds, he received his first camera at age 14 and began experimenting with his limited equipment. By the time Ommer was 18, he had given up on birds but was improving his skills as a photographer. He began working as an apprentice in a camera shop and soon picked up side projects for local papers, shooting everything from car accidents to weddings, when staff photographers were unavailable. In 2002, Uwe Ommer was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society for the impact of his lifetime of work.
