Description
Every Pill I Took: 2000-2001 by Michael Lorenzini In the 1990s and 2000s, ecstasy pills became a ubiquitous sight in club and rave scenes, with branding playing a crucial role in their appeal. To document this underground art form, Michael Lorenzini, a nightlife photographer, began photographing every pill he took from 2000-2001. The resulting macro photographs, shot on slide film with an extreme macro lens, reveal the intricate details and imperfections of these tiny, colorful pills. Lorenzini's photographs showcase the beauty and complexity of these pills, which were often based on well-known corporate logos. By capturing these images, he highlights the intersection of subversive youth culture and mainstream consumerism. The result is a unique and fascinating glimpse into a world that was both captivating and disturbing. This book is part of Blurring Books' Limited Slim Publications series, featuring Lorenzini's remarkable photographs in a slim, paperback format.
