The Disciples: James Mollison\u2019s Portraits of Music Subcultures<\/a>: <\/p>\n

From Madonna to Marilyn Manson, or how to worship at the secular altar of pop culture.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a>From photographer James Mollison<\/a>, whom you might remember from his poignant series on where children sleep<\/a>, comes Disciples<\/em><\/strong><\/a> \u2014 a visual study of musical subcultures, reminiscent of the Exactitudes<\/em><\/a> project. Between 2004 and 2007, Mollison travelled across Europe and the U.S. with a mobile photography studio, which he parked in front of music concerts, taking individual portraits of fans outside the respective band\u2019s gig. He then composited the portraits into lineups of eight to ten fans, creating a single pseudo-panoramic image. Disciples<\/em><\/strong><\/a> gathers 62 of these fascinating images, featuring more than 500 individual portraits that capture the spirit and tribalism of comtemporary music culture, from death metal to Lady Gaga.<\/p>\n
