Issue 46 wasn’t the first Visionaire guest-edited by Mario Testino, but it was the first in which, rather than sharing glam snaps of models and celebrities, the photographer revealed a keen sense of contemporary art, curating a selection of scintillating artworks themed around desire and sex. “Mario has an incredible eye for art,” says Visionaire founder Cecilia Dean. “But it’s an aspect of his personality that, until then, hadn’t been expressed in a publication.”

In UNCENSORED, Testino selected sexually provocative works by artists like Marlene Dumas, Thomas Ruff, Ghada Amer, and Tracey Emin, many of which were rendered on customized tactile inserts like latex. “Sex is so integral to life,” Testino says. “If it wasn’t for sex, life would not exist. From that, one can derive so much inspiration.” And that he did.

The issue also contained a special portfolio of the photographer’s unpublished work, including five original prints of couples in their most intimate moments. And because it wouldn’t be an issue about sex without someone or something Brazilian, a tiny swatch of supermodel Gisele Bündchen’s bedsheets was included in each copy. All of which earned the issue an EXPLICIT CONTENT label—completely deservedly.
