In an artist's studio, often beauty is bred from mistakes and frustrating errors lead to breakthroughs. Fractured, the name of a new body of work and title of Jeremy Kost's first monograph of men, comes from this place.A camera malfunction led to the birth of an entirely new, unseen series of multiple exposure Polaroids of young men, a subject Kost has been investigating for nearly a decade. Made in the last 24 months, less than1% of the work has been seen outside of the studio before the publication of this book. Presenting dreamlike, fractured narratives collapsed into one single Polaroid frame, each image takes the viewer to an intimate place filled with broken dreams and unrequited desire, all the while, celebrating man's beauty and identity. Whether cropped to show luminous details or simply floated on the page, each photograph represents a tangible moment layered in mystery while also hauntingly beautiful.
