176pp, profusely illustrated in color. Designed by Jery Hsu and Morgan Crowcroft-Brown. "Bringing together photographs Jerry Hsu has made in Los Angeles since 2011, "How About Never" is occupied with the almost sentient character of the city. Hsu’s photographs are sensitively attuned to the contradictions of the place, entangling allusions to hope and despair, beauty and pain in an atmospheric and uncanny sequence. Images of disfigured fences and physical injuries are interwoven with spontaneous compositions: a discarded toilet, a blood-stained mattress, crashed cars, a bank ominously aflame. Portraits seek an intimacy with their subjects among the disrepair and cruelty of the urban environment. These disparate and dissonant strands reach a beguiling harmony, together looking to destruction as a potential source of change and rebirth". A brand new example of thIs elegant new addition to the photographer's oeuvre additionally SIGNED "Jerry Hsu" in ink on the title page.
