Conversation between David Armstrong and Jack Pierson
Night and Day brings together a selection of iconic Kodachrome pictures from David Armstrong's archive of the late 70's and early 80's New York scene. The images illuminate an intimate and carefree epoch of innocent-bohemian wilderness — a time just before the tumultuous 80's. Dispersed throughout the series are images of a generation of youngsters which changed culture — including Rene Ricard, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Waters to mention a few. Vernacular yet with an undeniable ability to capture and create timeless images, David Armstrong's Night & Day tells tales of a bygone era.
The book contains 110 images, including a facsimile of an original poem typed out by Rene Ricard. MÖREL also tracked down Rene to design the cover of the book and have a conversation between David Armstrong and Jack Pierson.
