"New work by Annie Leibovitz goes on exhibit today at the American Art Museum in Washington, DC., and it’s only distantly related to the celebrity portraiture she’s so famous for: Leibovitz has turned her camera on the personal effects and ephemera of celebrities from bygone eras, especially notable women."
Danish photographer Nicolai Howalt is among other things, also known for the grittiness in some of his previous work. On this occasion, he puts a human face on it, and a backstory that deals with dreams, sex, and identity, to match.
Although the 'Boxer" series and consequent book were originally presented back in 2003, it has now been re-edited and republished by HJØRRING of Denmark.
The book contains 78 diptych portraits of moderately to heavily smashed up amateur Boxers and their stories. The preface is written by author Edward Bunker (Dog eat dog, Little Boy Blue). The photographs are also available at Howalts own online gallery.
