Issue #27 of Berlin-based interview magazine mono.kultur on American photographer Ryan McGinley. In a refreshingly frank and honest conversation, Ryan McGinley talked with mono.kultur about his first ten years of an astonishing career, his memories of the late Dash Snow and why every day is an adventure.

McGinley’s colourful and vivid photographs capture the zeitgeist of a generation like no other. Celebrating the sweet and fleeting state of youth, his images are suffused with colour, light and energy. Naked kids climbing trees, running through the desert, rolling down hills, suspended in the air, diving into lakes, leaping through fireworks – there’s a lightness and carelessness and beauty to McGinley’s images that is utterly addictive. His powerful depictions of youth in the here and now are a raw and personal declaration of love to life with all its highs and lows.

Visually, the issue is as eclectic as McGinley’s photographs, employing no less than ten different fonts and just as many grids, not to speak of a panoramic overview of the first decade of McGinley’s career, from 1999 to 2011.
