- Three saddle-stitched oversized softcover zines in a silk-screen printed custom cardboard box
280 x 380 mm
Designed by Jonny Lu Studio
First Edition of 650 copies
Three oversized zines in a silk-screened box, each drawn from a different decade of unpublished work. Horn Again gathers pictures made in 2008-09, when Alexander McQueen asked Waplington, a friend, to follow the making of the Horn of Plenty collection from the first sketches to the catwalk, with all the waiting, cutting and arguing in between. You should be with us returns to Los Angeles in 1995-96, when Waplington was living there and, having set his long-term projects aside, simply photographed his own nights out on the margins of the city. Sommat, the last of the three, wanders from the hinterland of New York to the Thames estuary, loosely following the route of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and ending where that novel begins.
