Paul Schiek – Dead Men Dont Look LIke Me
Posted by Fabio 6 June 2012
Dead Men Dont Look LIke Me A new book by photographer Paul Schiek, published by TBW Books. The book features 20 duotone plates of men re-photographed from 1950s-era mug shots found by the artist’s friend Mike Brodie in an abandoned Georgia prison. Brodie gifted the mug shots to Schiek, who then edited the original cache of hundreds down to a select few, cropped the images to remove all official documentary references while leaving stains, staple marks, tears and other signs of age. The book reveals a new personal and cultural meaning beyond the photographs original purpose. The book is accompanied by an introduction by Vince Aletti.
