Description
Book SynopsisINSEX is the debut monograph by the American photographer Alex Stoddard (*1993), in which he explores the parallels between metamorphosis in the natural world and human coming-of-age. Through staged, highly stylised images, Stoddard invites viewers into a colourfully dark world of budding sexuality and crawling insects. The previously unreleased series of 70 images paints a surreal picture of adolescence in a glorious frenzy of buzzing hormones and sprouting wings. Each scene features a youthful subject — often Stoddard himself — in a state of change or paired with a many-legged counterpart. INSEX marks the artist’s first cohesive collection of work.
