Photographer and publisher Rankin, of Dazed & Confused fame, launches his own bi-annual magazine called The Hunger. The premiere issue is out now and includes interviews with Rhys Ifans, Terence Stamp, Ray Winstone, Danny Dyer, Hayley Atwell, Plan B, Michael Sheen and Sally Hawkins as well as fashion stories with Kelis, Kelly Rowland, Sky Ferreira, Milla Jovovich, Erin O’Connor and Heidi Klum.
“The Hunger is an idea that was born from the realisation that, more than two decades into my career as a photographer, I am still inspired by what I do every day. I named my first retrospective exhibition Visually Hungry – that’s how I felt. In a lot of ways, it is how I think I’ll feel until I die.” says Rankin about the project.
The Hunger TV, is intended to act as the living, breathing embodiment online version of the magazine and will be updated weekly with exclusive content including, specially filmed interviews, documentaries and fashion films.
The Hunger is cohesive in Rankin’s clear objective: to practice the arts in his own unique way, and to encourage new talent to do the same.
“It’s not about being cool, knowledgeable or elitist. It’s not a statement of luxury or a declaration of so-called ‘good taste’. We are creative beings. We have a basic need – an urge – to interact, to discover, to originate, to communicate with each other.”
