Volume 1 of two photo-anthologies by provocateurs Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin hits art-book stores with a 100-pound thump.

A collaboration of 20 years shooting fashion, ad campaigns, editorial portraits and general madness, the duo’s Pretty Much Everything (Taschen) keeps you turning the pages to see what the heck is coming around the bend. It even includes a short story by science fiction writer Bruce Sterling. The juggernaut comes in a massive red box with sleeves to fit the three tomes. What we love about Lamsweerde and Matadin is that they have a sense of humor throughout, and it’s not the campy kind.
