A new book brings together over 400 eclectic, bizarre images taken over the past two decades. Here, the American photographer talks about why he is drawn to the “humanity in imperfection”
Courtesy of the artist and MACK’s photographs look like a literal car crash. In the American photographer’s new, MACK-published monographnoses are bloodied and eyes are bruised, while ashtrays runneth over, and peaches acquire thick, furry layers of mould. “You hear this complaint from art directors: we’ve figured out too many ways to make things perfect, whether it’s a filter, or retouching or whatever,” says Ethridge.
His most well-known images are rife with defects; there’s his doe-eyed 1999 self-portrait, where his preppy good looks are marred only by the multicoloured bruise on his right eye; Andrew WK’s now-iconica mouldy still life that appeared on the cover ofmagazine in 2010; and a Comme des Garçons shirt advert featuring pigeons flapping in mid-air, splaying their feathered wings majestically.
