Wolfgang Tillmans chronicles East London's art scene and nightlife of the early 2000s, as well as his friendship with collaborator and artist Conor Donlon. The book follows Donlon's changing appearance and style and his backdrops: a 2003 demonstration against George W. Bush's state visit; a picnic in the park after an opening at Tillmans's exhibition space Between Bridges; the bright yellow walls of their home; long-gone LGBT clubs The Ghetto and The Joiners' Arms; and quieter moments spent talking in the studio and around town. The photographs are at once intimate and emblematic of a flourishing arts era.
