Dogbreath

Set amid the extreme heat and sprawling concrete of Tucson, Arizona, Dogbreath is a photobook that depicts a series of restless adolescents as they navigate a fraught and changing world. Through photographs of urban decay, sun-faded neighborhoods, scenes of mosh pits, and punk youths alongside their feral dog counterparts, the book paints a sympathetic view of teenagers adrift in what remains of their adolescence. Interspersed with elliptical texts about a mysterious boy named Dove, who speaks of underground pagans, scrap salvaging, and the search for gold, Dogbreath presents an enigmatic, psychologically engaging portrait of youth on the edge.

11.5x15 inches. 108 pages. 55 tritone plates on uncoated paper. 3 variations of cloth cover with tip-in image and foil stamp text. Designed by Cody Haltom and Matthew Genitempo. Audio accompaniment by Michael A. Muller
