Shipping from the EU

To our American friends. With dear apologies, we can only ship single volumes as documents to your country due to the ridiculous tariffs proposed by your dict...(cough cough) president. Sorry for this. It isn't pleasant. You are loved, but please refrain from bidding on multiple items with the intention of paying shipping for each volume until sanity is restored.



WHERE YA AT Anthony Tafuro


Where YA At is the second segment in Tafuro's trade collection for S U N . The contents take place in both the real and digital worlds. Photographs are skewed to feel constructed, and paired with images made in multiple open-world/online video games. These moments are carefully crafted to feel more natural than some images taken in the real world. The book is separated into seven chapters that depict the life cycle that one goes through, at a fast pace, and showing a great deal of energy. Playing as fake characters allows us to have a slow realization and awareness of the multiple lives we get to live. Tafuro sat through countless online matches on mostly GTA V, and Halo to gather around 80 rolls of color negative. This doesn't count the vast amount of additional imagery taken between 2015 and 2017 throughout the real world and edited into this project.



“His images have a quiet sensitivity more common in editorial work than street photography. He seems to slip his way into different crowds with ease. Anthony's narratives skip spectacle, instead relying on a strong narrative ontology centered around social commentary and the politics of seeing. Tafuro is looking deeply at the textures of the many bizarre surfaces that he encounters, his intent on penetrating them to liberate the ether - or maybe sticky goo - behind these things, and it's often quite successful, quite revelatory.”
