In Flagrante Two by Chris Killip (Signed)

Steidl, Gottingen, Germany, 2015. In English. 108 pp., 50 black & white illustrations, 14¼x11¼".

(First Revised Steidl Edition)

“Some slight page yellowing to edges”

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. The new oversized Steidl 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.
