ABOUT THE WORK
This image is part of the series Look At Me And Tell Me If You Have Known Me Before, the expressive, poetic portrait of a group of young people living in the margin of urban consumer culture. In cinematographic and suggestive images shot mostly at night. Monica Nouwens follows them at parties, during performances. Nouwens’ images are not records of specific moments in time, she rather is the chronicler of an attitude, of a romantic rejection of mainstream social life. Look At Me And Tell Me If You Have Known Me Before embodies the hopes, fears and nightmares of a generation that does not seem to be interested in fulfilling a social role that is part of society as we know it, but which tries to shape more personal, smaller scale alternatives.
