Author: Thork, Rulx
Inspired by community-oriented photographers such as Nan Goldin and Larry Clark, Rulx Thork's work captures the constantly shifting nature of Brooklyn's streets, marked by an ephemeral rhythm of routine and chance encounters, from 2005 to 2018. This first photobook from Thork presents an intimate and tender portrayal of Brooklyn's urban street life, which weaves a narrative of coming of age, resilience and the ever-evolving American story – one that demands to be seen.The title of his first photobook is a reference to Nas' 1996 song "I Gave You Power"; instead of rapping from the viewpoint of a gun, it positions the camera as Thork's own source of power. A self-described shy observer, Thork transforms his lens into an instrument of agency, not just for himself but for his subjects, whose presence is captured with dignity and unwavering strength.
ISBN 9781947346109. Little Big Man Books. hb. 104 pages. 30.5 x 30.5 cm.
