LOOKING FOR LOOKING FOR LOVE (Special Edition) - Tom Wood
"Wood's Looking For Love series brings to the Chelsea Reach nightclub in 80's New Brighton, the kind of insights Brassai brought to the 30's Paris nightlife. His flashlight glare reveals a fascinating crush of booze-drenched bodies, groping hands, flickering tongues, bleary eyes, fag smoke and sweat."
Robert Clark, The Guardian, 1990.
As London sees the closure of clubs like The Joiner's Arms, Buffalo Bar and Madame Jojo, a new Conservative government promises further austerity measures. As a result, new surveillance measures are being legislated in the name of protection. Looking for Looking for Love is a poignant nostalgic re-visioning of a different era, the photographs capturing the fleeting experience of teenage freedom in a way that seems particularly relevant to an age of youth and counter-cultural exclusion.
