PRODUCT DETAILS


As a club­go­er in the 1970s and ​‘80s, Frank Rispoli doc­u­ment­ed the Punk and New Wave club scenes in New York City. ​‘The epi­cen­tre of every­thing was Dance­te­ria’, recalls Rispoli of the club where Madon­na made her debut. Rec­og­niz­ing the inher­ent expres­sion of sex­u­al­i­ty and desire in both fash­ion and club cul­ture, Rispoli cap­tured the inter­twin­ing of the two. Focus­ing exclu­sive­ly on women’s shoes – a fas­ci­na­tion he traces back to child­hood – he pho­tographed club­go­ers, bar patrons, singers, and band mem­bers, uti­liz­ing the staged sets and bath­rooms of the clubs, and the taxis and side­walks of the city as his back­drops. Seen togeth­er, these images rep­re­sent a time cap­sule from a hedo­nis­tic age.
