January 1 – Andrea Modica - Special Edition of 25 copies

All the photographs were made on January 1, 2009-2018 in South Philadelphia: a 10-day, 10-year project. With an 8X10” view camera, the artist momentarily removed the Wenches from their reverie and photographed them, isolated, feet away from the party. Like so many clubs and teams, this group embodies a male mystique, a paradox of inclusion and exclusion that fueled my attention beyond the aesthetics of the parade. This project documents the bizarre life of New Year’s Day in Philadelphia. 64 pages – Three tone printing Tout Carton Binding. Special Edition of 25 copies.
