Costa, Salvador
Punk! Salvador Costa's April 77 Photographs
"Punk" was one of the first photobooks that came out about the punk movement not just in Spain but in Europe. Originally published in late 1977, the book achieved a significant international projection, acquiring a pseudo-mythical status as it disappeared from the catalogue. Almost half a century later the book is now available again. This updated edition includes unpublished photos from Costa's own archives, preserved by his wife and children after his passing on 30 October 2008, and also short texts and comments by members of Gen X, Eater, The Models Scattered among the public, kids, smoke, and shadows, you will be able to find faces of the Sex Pistols, Chelsea, the Nips, the Slits, Eater, and many more, encapsulated in the space-time of a golden age of youth empowerment where everything was possible and nothing was impossible.
