Cloro photography

80 pages, color and bw.

Although this publication is visually based on Mike Brodie's unpublished body of work of "A Period of Juvenile Prosperity," and although we recognize the same atmosphere as in that book, Soup is not an epilogue. Here, the protagonist of the  photographer's most famous and mainstream photo is given a voice, and through his fleeting stories, he undermines the last remnants of the reader's comfort zone. Because Soup is a nickname behind which hides not only an adventurer, but above all a writer and a creative mind tormented by an aggressive form of schizophrenia.
If A Period of Juvenile Prosperity is an iconic and cinematic book that marked a before and after in the story of American subcultures, Soup, on the other hand, embodies the retaliation of mythology on the icon. And if the after coincides with the immediate availability we are forced to accept (with the inevitable death of adventure for its own sake), the before returns to the attack using the same tools that wrote its end. A resurrected executioner.
