In Flagrante Two

Chris Killip (1946-2020)

Synopsis

Chris Killip's "In Flagrante Two" revisits his seminal photobook, capturing Northern England's industrial decline through photographs taken between 1973 and 1985. Originally published in 1988, the work highlights the impact of neoliberal policies under Margaret Thatcher, portraying a society grappling with deindustrialization and perceived disposability. The updated edition offers a stark, text-free narrative, presenting each photograph on its own double-page spread. This format emphasizes the power and ambiguity of the images, urging viewers to engage deeply with the visual story of a community facing harsh economic realities and challenging historical narratives.
