This limited edition collectors box set of five books by Roger Ballen, Todd Hido, Edgar Martins, Mayumi Hosokura and Esther Teichmann celebrates the 10th anniversary of Crude Metaphors, a prominent and celebrated section of HOTSHOE magazine since 2005.
Crude Metaphors brings together photography and fiction writing, pairing the work of five renowed photographers with established and up and coming writers such as the National Poet for Scotland Liz Lochhead, and Joe Ahearne, director of Doctor Who and co-writer of Danny Boyle’s Trance. With stories ranging from a female bounty hunter to a world of artificial intelligence and a father’s suicide, readers will be taken on five compelling journeys through the words and images of ten different creators.
