A fairy tale set in nineties New York. Girl meets boy. Love and booze and heartbreak ensue. Decades pass. Girl meets boy. Again. They make a book together. This book. It chronicles their relationship with the help of a secret stash of photos. With cameo appearances by Santa Claus, Hitler, The Danish Queen, Nina Hagen, Kate Moss and the coffin of Allen Ginsberg. It's about sex, grime and secrets. It's about how we possess each other as though there can never be another. And then there is. It's about the stuff that hurts - even half a life later. It's brutal and beautiful. Like all fairy tales. “In this era of oversharing what you see is rarely what you get and ‘truth’, has become a relative term. This painfully beautiful work has oceanic depths which makes everything else look like puddles. Raw, honest and intimate, I can’t look away” – Erik Kessels
