Background information
“England's North East was undergoing profound changes when Chris KILLIP lived and photographed there in the 1970s and 1980s. He had arrived in the city of Newcastle on a grant funded by a local arts council and a gas authority. Under the terms of the fellowship he spent two years photographing the construction of a gas pipeline and in the process realized that he had joined the area. (...) For the next decade, KILLIP photographed close-knit industrial communities in the region in beautiful black and white and published the results in an iconic 1988 book, 'In Flagrante', named after a legal term meaning roughly 'caught in the act'.Content
“The photographs Chris KILLIP took in northern England between 1973 and 1985 were first published in 1988 in the book ‘In Flagrante’ by Secker & Warburg.
This new oversized edition, titled 'In Flagrante Two', is a radically updated presentation, featuring a single image on the right-hand side of each double-page spread. The book is sharp in its belief in the primacy of photography, while containing ambiguities and contradictions in an unadorned narrative sequence without text.” (free translation of the publisher's text, © Steidl Verlag, 2016)
