"The photographs that Chris KILLIP made in Northern England between 1973 and 1985 were first published by Secker & Warburg in the book 'In Flagrante' in 1988.
This new oversized edition is a radically updated presentation, showing a single image on the right side of each double-page spread. 'In Flagrante Two' is strident in its belief in the primacy of the photograph, embracing ambiguities and contradictions in an unadorned narrative sequence devoid of text." (publisher's note)
"England’s North East underwent profound changes when Chris KILLIP lived and photographed there in the 1970s and ’80s. He’d arrived in the city of Newcastle on a fellowship funded by a local arts council and gas board. According to the terms of the fellowship, he spent two years photographing the construction of a gas pipeline, and in doing so found he’d become attached to the area.
“Because of this I saw a lot of England, which I wouldn’t have otherwise gotten to. After two years I wanted to stay,” KILLIP said.
For the next decade, KILLIP photographed tight-knit industrial communities of the region in beautiful black and white, publishing the results in an iconic 1988 book, 'In Flagrante', named for a legal term that roughly means “caught in the act.”
The photos are on display for the first time in the United States at New York’s Yossi Milo Gallery through Feb. 27. They’re also available in a new book, 'In Flagrante Two', which adds two photographs to the series." (slate.com)
