{"product_id":"the-sound-of-dirt-and-beauty","title":"The Sound of Dirt and Beauty","description":"The Sound of Dirt and Beauty is the first book by British photographer Jesse\nGlazzard, bringing together photographs made in the UK over the past decade\namong friends, lovers, and collaborators. Rooted in working-class experience and\nshaped by underground queer culture, Glazzard’s images combine portraiture and\ndocumentary, moving between intimate studio portraits and scenes of everyday\nlife. Bodies, bedrooms, gatherings, fragments of diaries, and moments of\ntenderness are rendered with a raw immediacy that resists spectacle. Rather than\npresenting identity as a fixed category, the work allows people simply to appear\nas they are, reflecting a generation moving beyond rigid identity structures and\nembracing fluidity, experimentation, and chosen forms of belonging. Across the\nbook, Glazzard’s own transition unfolds alongside the shifting lives of the\npeople around him, forming part of a wider portrait of a shared world. At the\nheart of the book is a desire to build an archive of the present, documenting a\ncircle of lives often absent from official histories. Conceived as a stapled,\nscreen-printed publication much like Glazzard’s self-published zines, the book\npresents this material with the directness of a record. What emerges is a\nportrait of friendship, intimacy, and collective life that holds vulnerability\nand solidarity side by side.","brand":"ART AND PAPER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67759877128501,"sku":"9781917651721","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/9023\/3653\/files\/9d823913-ad29-4af0-8c2f-33e5c7095172.jpg?v=1792248803","url":"https:\/\/librairiesanstitre.com\/en\/products\/the-sound-of-dirt-and-beauty","provider":"librairie sans titre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
