Hugo's fascination lies in the unconventional and atypical looks of his sitters, particularly before they undergo the transformations of wardrobe, makeup, and hair. He invites them to simply present themselves, resulting in photographs that embrace vulnerability and frailty as much as they do the agency and idealism of their subjects. Hugo's typological study questions the commodification of youth and the \"outsider\" while embracing the beauty of peculiarity worn with acute awareness and the paradox of craving both difference and conformity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1135g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 312 x 241 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9788417975753\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44101485494522,"sku":"9788417975753","price":39.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_98aee954-4e91-4156-806d-1aecc4c18110.jpg?v=1649656280","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/pieter-hugo-solus-volume-i-concerning-atypical-beauty-and-youth-9788417975753","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
