Synopsis

“The golden age of neglect” è un classico esempio del lavoro di Ed Templeton, profondamente legato alla vita urbana, allo street style, alla musica e alla cultura grafica. Un’istituzione della scena skate di Los Angeles, Ed Templeton ha realizzato per oltre 10 anni fotografie che documentano la storia della sua vita e gli incontri fatti nel mondo dello skate, e la sua visione incrocia gli ambiti di arte, sport, sesso, droga, violenza, moda e giovinezza. È skater, artista, e un prodotto unico nel suo ambiente. In “The golden age of neglect” ci mostra il suo mondo da un punto di vista esclusivo. Ci sono teenager che bevono e fumano. Per alcuni la loro dipendenza è evidente, lo si capisce dal modo in cui guardano l’obiettivo con occhi vuoti. Alimentato da un’energia, un’irriverenza e una spontaneità incredibilmente pure, la sua produzione è composta da un numero straordinario di fotografie e tele, oltre che da un corpus di lavori grafici che vanno dai disegni agli schizzi, dai collage alle raccolte di corrispondenze.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Golden Age of Neglect is a classic example of Ed Templeton s work which is deeply anchored in urban life, street style, music, and graphic culture. A fixture of the Los Angeles skateboarding scene, Ed Templeton has been producing photographs documenting his life story and encounters in the skateboarding world for over 10 years, his vision crosses the realms of art, sports, sex, drugs, violence, fashion, and youth. He is a skater, an artist, and a unique product of his environment. In The Golden Age of Neglect he presents an exclusive view into his world. There are teenage smokers and drinkers. There are those whose despondence is clearly evident as they confront the camera with vacant eyes. Fueled by incredible raw energy, irreverence, and spontaneity, his work is comprised of an extraodinary number of photographs and canvases, as well as a body of graphic work from drawings, sketchbooks, and collages to montage and correspondence. The book is a reprint of the original version, which quickly rose to cult status shortly after its release in 2003.
