About the Book

This first edition of 500 copies spans 252 pages, showcasing both candid and posed images that provide a unique insight into Kern's practice as a photographer and filmmaker. Known for exploring the darker and more complex sides of human nature, Kern uses these images to question notions of truth and objectivity in photography. Printed with a Colorplan grey stock cover and a tipped-in grey card, this softcover book is a collectible object for fans of contemporary photography and subversive art.
