The magazine of the photo-essay
April/May 2019 back issue
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
by Ada Bligaard Søby
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
