From April 15th to May 16th, we’re pleased to welcome Ben Pier for an exclusive exhibition & launch magazine at Maison Kitsuné New York ARCHIVES & Gallery.
Raised in St. Louis, Ben grew up on a steady diet of comic books, skateboarding, and playing in punk bands before attending art school in Chicago. After graduating, he spent a decade in NYC applying his traditional documentary-style photography to the realms of fashion and music.
In Nothing You Don’t Know, Ben Pier pieces together a collection of his personal documentary work into a sprawling 68 page zine. The zine and the pages within work something like a waking surrealist dream as the viewer bears witness to the photographer’s momentary glances of one hyperreal scene after another.
Ben shoots in a blend of documentary and narrative style that blurs the line between both. Wave after wave of vaguely connected images sit together from a vivid mix of contemporary tablous. The work, presented in book form, reads like a short story. One that happens in a flash and goes completely unquestioned until the moment you’re done turning the pages.
