Description
Kids of Cosplay is a unique photographic project that elevates cosplay to an art form. Thurstan Redding's three-year endeavour features over seventy cosplayers in everyday locations, showcasing the creativity and individuality of this global phenomenon.
Through surreal photographs, Redding highlights how fantasy can be found in the mundane, as Spider-Man is illuminated by a kitchen fridge or a Resistance Pilot plays dead on a suburban driveway. The book also includes commentary from the cosplayers themselves, behind-the-scenes pages from Redding's personal diary, and an essay on the social and cultural context of cosplay.
With contributions from fashion powerhouse Katie Grand, writer and performer Tom Rasmussen, and noted fashion writer Sara McAlpine, Kids of Cosplay celebrates the community spirit that exists within this parallel universe of pageantry. A fascinating look at the world of cosplay, this book is a must-see for anyone interested in photography, fashion, or popular culture.
