The second volume of Photo Ephemera continues Bruce LaBruce's visual autobiography, a way to take part in his uproarious life without having to be part of it. The photographs, largely taken with a digital point-and-shoot camera before smartphones took over everything, bring the viewer closer to the person behind the auteur, with candid snapshots of a life filled with fun, sex and travel that at times contrast with the more transgressive and extreme artistic work. Faces include Genesis P-Orridge, Kembra Pfahler, Karl Lagerfeld and Beth Ditto. Recalling Susan Sontag's remark that you cannot hold reality but you can hold a photograph, the book explores LaBruce's gentler and more curious side and gives the viewer a chance to grasp the reality of Bruce LaBruce.
