Volume Two of queercore icon Bruce LaBruce’s latest book Photo Ephemera is a continuation of LaBruce’s visual autobiography, providing a way to participate in his uproarious life without having to actually be a part of it.

The photos, largely taken with a digital point-and-shoot camera before smart phones took over everything, bring one closer to the person behind the auteur, with candid snapshots of a life filled with fun, sex and travels at times in contrast to LaBruce’s more transgressive and extreme artistic work.

.
As Susan Sontag wrote, you cannot hold reality, but you can hold a photograph. Not only is a photograph a way of preserving the past, but very much a way of handling the present.

.
The book explores LaBruce’s gentler and curious side, giving the viewer a chance to grasp the reality of Bruce LaBruce.
Starring iconic faces such as Genesis P-Breyer Orridge, Kembra Pfahler, Karl Lagerfeld, Beth Ditto and many more.
