The second edition of the much sort after debut volume from Théo Gosselin. Deliberately cinematic, Gosselin's photography reveals friends in the act of escaping from their regular lives into newly enticing and perilous modes of existence, ever in search of the persistent though elusive idea of freedom. Presented in a limited edition hardcover book, the second edition is strictly limited to just 1000 copies.
Whilst clearly indebted to the photography of Ryan McGinley, Nan Goldin and Larry Clark, unlike the self-confessed "pseudo-fiction" of McGinley's work, the subjects in Théo Gosselin's images are friends rather than models, and the situations are not mythic constructions but glimpses of an underground lifestyle in a post-9/11 and post-AIDS world in which social media has blurred the boundaries between public and private, and between being documented and simply being.
This edition has been sold out for many years but due to demand, we are releasing a very limited number of original books from our archives to make them available to collectors.
