synopsis
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.
