Choice Cuts - Corbin C

. .

Résumé :
Portland, Oregon is known for its DIY spirit, dedicated local music scenes, and anachronistic hobbies, all of which are represented in Choice Cuts, a photography book by Portland fixture, Corbin C. Choice Cuts presents a selection of photographs from the last decade, all caught on 35mm disposable cameras. Though focused on the vibrant house show subculture, Corbin brings his camera everywhere, and his archive also includes imagery of street demonstrations and protests, regional wrestling circuits, and something called CornCon. Informal, entertaining, and highly specific commentary accompanies the photographs and shows off Corbin's pure enthusiasm and meticulous recall of nearly every event he's photographed. Taken in basements and backyards and sidewalks starting in 2015, the photographs tell a story of a city that, while transforming, also has an unwavering dedication to performance, experimentation, and to showing up. Portland's local culture is one of creative communities and Corbin has assembled proof of this. In this wildly digital time, Corbin and his lo-fi camera make a strong case for the analog, both in what's happening and how it's captured. Here's your invite, let Choice Cuts show you that the IRL is still alive and kicking....
