A homage to the beguiling, evocative nighttime hours, consisting of photography portfolios, film stills and essays
The first significant publication of its kind, Night Fever is a lavishly illustrated compendium of artist portfolios and essays that consider the unique conditions of the nighttime world and its transgressive and transformational possibilities. The book comprises 20 photography portfolios by a diverse, international and intergenerational group of artists as well as 21 essays about films made during and about the night. Together, the films, photo portfolios and essays gathered in the volume testify to the fact that there is no single night; for each person, place or group, night’s threshold, its liminal edge, is ever-changing.
Artists include: David Goldbatt, Dayanita Singh, Dhruv Malhotra, Evgenia Arbugaeva, Katsumi Watanabe, Kohei Yoshiyuki, Lieko Shiga, Malick Sidibé, Martina Mullaney, Ming Smith, Mosa’ab Elshamy, Myriam Boulos, Paz Errazuriz, Rinko Kawauchi, Sanlé Sory, Sohrab Hura, Stephen Barker, Suwon Lee, Tobias Zielony, Trevor Paglen.
