Introduction by Sean O’Hagan; 99 Photographs with captions
Powerfully gritty – and often hilarious – documentary photographs of nightlife in the Welsh capital.
Maciej Dakowicz (b. 1976) spent seven years living in Cardiff, where he co-founded the Third Floor Gallery. He now lives in London. His photographs have been exhibited around the world, and he is a recipient of numerous awards. Sean O'Hagan writes for the Guardian and the Observer.
'All human life is here: sadness, despair, joy, abandon,
humiliation, camaraderie, anger, loneliness, reverie, regret … The
full gamut of exaggerated human emotion as it is played out each
weekend.' - Sean O’Hagan
'When last orders are called in Cardiff, the party is just
beginning. Out on the streets the full pantomime is both engaging
and revealing and these images give us a ring side view' - Martin
Parr
'I think it has genuine artistic merit and provides a valid
sociological document of our times … It also makes the ideal
present for the kind of person who is really difficult to buy for'
- Proper Magazine
