Description |
This is the first monographic survey of Julie Henry's work, focussing in particular on five of video and photographic pieces produced between 1999 and 2002. Moving from provincial dancehalls to the terraces of football grounds, and from contemporary video-game whiz kids to aficionados of 1970s pub-sports, Henry's work documents and celebrates the subcultures and rituals of those who live to play hard far beneath the radar of celebrity endorsements and corporate sponsorship. This large-format, lavishly illustrated colour publication includes two essays as well as Henry's own observations on each of the pieces. |
