Biographie de l'auteur :

After the success of Amplified Youth, an amazing report on the indie scene and the new rock n roll fever, Angelo Sindaco continues to dig into the faults of modernity. Pressurized energy, about to explode: he is a spy of the conflict that started at the borders and has spread to the centre. Skinstreet is the last book by the photographer, made around Europe and the United States. Sindaco is mapping the mutant geography of the street scene, he is an authentic cultural Jedi like Drago. The challenge, this time, is in the controversial, usually demonized, world of the shaved heads. A former skinhead himself, Angelo Sindaco revisits his past with his camera, immortalizing one of the most esoteric tribes on the globe. According to the author it is A world apart and hard to approach . Equally radical, is the code required to adapt and blend in. Starting with the intrinsic rite of shaving to boots, leather jackets and heavy tattoos. This is the look, the complete dress-code of the urban warrior. It has been like this since the 60s, true to its white working class roots. Criticised by the orthodox, the skinheads damned charm has an irresistible appeal to the gay community. So, from the outside, the phenomenon ends under the lights of the paparazzi: on the catwalks and the fashion magazines. However, the "gonzos" of the counter-culture don t surrender to the temptations of show business. Instead, they continue to protectively foster their identity, avoiding all sorts of contaminations. Hard and pure until the end. Through the eye of Angelo Sindaco, it is possible to discover them in their extreme and unsettling habitat. An alien dimension inhabited by secular Krishna s , devoted to resistance. The volume will be enriched by a collection of essays by David Gross (N.Y. Times, Newsday, Farrar Straus Giroux) and Federico Chiara (Vogue Italia).

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Das Buch pr�sentiert die au�erordentliche Vielf�ltigkeit der Skinhead-Subkulturen und Gruppierungen, heterogen und polyvalent in Ansichten, Lebensstil, Kleidung, Musik und politischer Positionierung: von linksextrem anarchistisch �ber Oi!, Fu�ball, Alkohol, Ska, Reggae, Hardcore, Soul, Gay-Skins, antirassistischen Gruppen bis hin zur rechtsradikalen Blood-and-Honour Gruppe. Was alle diese Str�mungen miteinander verbindet,ist die provokative �stethik und das Ph�nomen, dass diese Subkultur seit ihren Anf�ngen zu Beginn der 70er Jahre bis heute nicht von der Werbe-und Modeindustrie vereinnahmt wurde. Die Bilder in Skinstreet wurden in Europa und den USA fotografiert, Angelo Sindaco geh�rte fr�her selbst zur Skinheadszene.
