"Over the past two decades, the exiled Russian artist Slava Mogutin has gained international acclaim for his gritty, candid portrayal of disaffected youth and documentation of alternative urban subcultures, as well as his writings, multimedia work and political activism. Bros iBrosephines is a survey of Mogutin's studio and fashion photography, commissioned portraits and previously unpublished outtakes and behind-the-scenes shots. From his early raw film snapshots to elaborate sets and post-production manipulations, the book offers Mogutin's signature explosive blend of art, fashion, and fetish, transcending and dissecting the conventional notions of beauty and masculinity. The monograph also features Mogutin's collaborations with fellow artists, including Brian Kenny, Steven Klein, Josh Lee, Asher Levine, Franpois Sagat, and Nicolas Santos."
