“Gentlemen” is series of 26 images documenting the interiors of the Gentlemen’s Clubs of London. Captioned with enigmatic almost poetic caption these images reflect the granduer of where they were shot with there wide white borders. Coming from the early 1980’s I would guess this is an early example of a postmodernist narrative.
Feel that the artist is not obviously pushing in a direction on how I should view these subject but I need to make my own mind, too which I am confused. Although, the images all convey to me power that is unfairly waited to towards the inaccessible world of these clubs.
