Guten Morgen Sonnenschein

27 JUN until 29 AUG 2026
Opening – 26 JUN 2026, 6-8 pm

Guten Morgen Sonnenschein, translated as ‘Good Morning Sunshine’ celebrates the positivity, warm and playful inventiveness of Teller’s eight and half-year creative partnership with his wife, Dovile Drizyte.

The eponymous series of diptychs depicts his morning ritual of making drip coffee paired with what was surrounding him at the time either at home or during their travels – a book, an artwork, one of their daughter Iggy’s painting or a photo of Drizyte sleeping, creating an intimate, personal love letter.

The interconnected nature of their marriage and professional collaboration is embodied within the Symposium of Love (2025) series, which refers to Aristophanes’ speech given during Plato’s Symposium. Photographs of Teller and Drizyte’s naked bodies, rolling in the sand dunes gradually blends into one mythical creature, juxtaposed in the sequence with various incarnations from natural world – woodland, sunsets and stuffed animals.

In a recent interview, Teller explained the interdependence of their relationship; “We do everything together, from the morning to the evening…Even our thinking becomes very, very similar. I wanted this idea of our two bodies morphing into each other.” (10 magazine, 2nd December 2025).

Teller is notorious for the blending of his commercial and personal work, which is epitomized within his series Sono Qui (‘I am Here’) (2026), photographed for Harper’s Bazaar Italia. Nude studies of Drizyte are contrasted with still lifes, cityscapes and fashion images that reveal an insider view of Venice and are contextualized by a portrait of the late Pope Francis at the Giudecca Women’s Prison, commissioned by the Holy See two years beforehand.

The honesty of Teller’s signature gaze is demonstrated by his intuitive and democratic approach to portraiture – with German actors, Sandra Hüller and Lars Eidinger; artists Florentina Holzinger and Danh Võ; musician, Iggy Pop and fashion designer, Katharine Hamnett cast alongside author, Constance Debré; philosopher, Slavoj Žižek and footballer, Michael Olise.

Most importantly, this exhibition provides affirmative reflections upon their family life, with their daughter, Iggy – from conception in a photograph from The Myth series (2022) to religious celebration in the A Sciuta series (2023) and the humorous restaging of some of Teller’s iconic works in the Iggy Teller does Teller series (2023); combined with contemplative works such as the video, Men (2023), featuring actor, Alexander Skarsgård and Teller, drawing upon his father-in-law’s military service memories and his troubled relationship with his own late father.

This exhibition builds upon the momentum of Teller’s recent show, you are invited at Onassis Ready in Athens, Greece, with a renewed sense of purposeful storytelling which translates his innate curiosity for the world around him. Teller’s enduring ability to provide perceptive observations on fashion, family, relationships, religion and the everyday allows for a clear understanding of the contemporary relevance of the truthfulness of the medium within an evolving age of Ai and digital image manipulation.
