For issue one, a choice of Rhys Ifans or Sky Ferreira is available.Online, The Hunger TV will be updated weekly with exclusive content, including documentaries, filmed interviews and fashion films.“The Hunger is an idea that was born from the realisation that, more than two decades into my career as a photographer, I am still inspired by what I do every day. I named my first retrospective exhibition Visually Hungry – that’s how I felt. In a lot of ways, it is how I think I’ll feel until I die,” said Rankin.To coincide with the launch, an exhibition is being held at Rankin's Annroy gallery, showcasing the photographer's latest work. It will open towards the end of November and run for four weeks.The Hunger and The Hunger TV launched on November 17 2011. For more information visit http://www.hungertv.com/
