To follow up his first book, "It's All Good" (Miss Rosen Editions/powerHouse Books), the Best Photography Book of 2006 as selected by Photo District News documenting the gangsters, crackheads, and junkies of New York City's most notorious neighborhoods, the photographer gives us a limited edition of his latest self-titled, "Boogie".
Born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, Boogie began photographing rebellion and unrest during the civil war that ravaged his country during the 1990s. Though he never planned to leave his homeland, a green card won in the national lottery brought him to the United States in 1998. Boogie settled in Brooklyn, where he resumed his photographic pursuit of those living on the fringe, outside the law, in the margins of society.
Boogie's work continues to reach diverse audiences with his precise blend of incisive investigation and aggressive aestheticism. Digging beneath the surface of everyday life has become this self-taught photographer's mission. To celebrate the release of Boogie, a limited edition of 500, colette and Galerie Olivier Robert present two distinct exhibitions featuring some of the photographer's most personal images that have been gathered during his travels through life with camera in hand.
PowerHouse Books, Colette, and Galerie Robert Oliver are pleased to announce two Paris exhibitions to celebrate the launch of the limited edition book. Boogie January 7–26, 2008 at Colette. 213 Rue St. Honore, Paris. March 12–April 12, 2008 at Galerie Olivier Robert. 19, Rue Mazarine, Paris
Limited Edition Boogie is available at PowerHouse Books.
