Now in stock- The reprint of ‘Death Book by Bruce LaBruce’ is dedicated to Bruce LaBruce’s archive of rarely published or previously unpublished work characterized by morbid fascinations. Here photographs challenge the viewer to explore what lies beneath the veneer of Western society. The book brings this body of work together for the first time, combining LaBruce’s performances, actions, film production stills and photography that explicitly outline his obsessions, with never-before exhibited archival works from projects including Hustler White, Otto; or Up with Dead People, and L.A. Zombie. The book is edited as loosely connected vignettes, characterised by horror, the carnage accelerated rather than overcome, questioning existing values, hierarchies, and perceptions of good and evil. A variety of faces and body parts appear, including those of actors Francois Sagat and Tiger Tyson, model/actor Tony Ward, artists Kembra Pfahler and Slava Mogutin, and cameos by legendary figures such as performance artist Ron Athey, musician/artists Genesis P-Orridge and Lady Jaye, artist Dash Snow, actor Brad Renfro, Asia Argento and Bruce LaBruce himself.

Broken Dolls ll, Baron’s latest publication, is a revival of Romain Slocombe’s photographic series, in which the artist staged and documented subjects decked out in medical attire.
 
Bandaged and swaddled in gauze, wearing eye patches, casts, and neck braces, the images were shot in a variety of locations across Tokyo and Paris, between 1992 and 2018 – in hospital wards, hotel rooms, trains, and streets— and are as much an ode to Tokyo’s haunting megacity, as they are an exploration of the artist’s own medical proclivities. This publication contains black-and-white and colour photographs from Slocombe’s series, alongside illustrations by the artist. 
 
In Slocombe’s monochromatic film world, white bandages glow and become a hypnotic focal point, and are a quasi-bondage device. It is this softness that transcends the implied violence of the photographs and introduces the potential for tenderness and care, which is at the heart of Slocombe’s vision.

The book also includes an essay by Olivia Rowe.
