Collected together, the sixteen flip books are encased in a sleek tilted case. Contributions include works by leading photographers Steven Meisel, Nick Knight, Mario Testino, Steven Klein, and Craig McDean, plus a provocative dance number captured by Peter Lindbergh and a blooming flower photographed by fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. The issue also features a daredevil explosion by video artist Roman Signer; a collaboration between film-graphics firm Imaginary Forces (Minority Report) and architect Greg Lynn; a special message from artist Tony Oursler's lips; cross-country travel from the Snorri Brothers directing team; work from preeminent filmmakers Pedro AlmodAvar, Spike Jonze, Darren Aronofsky, and Wong Kar Wei; and a burlesque Visionaire can-can dancer by Baz Luhrmann.
