‘Poppers: Photographic Portraits by Ruth Bayer’

New York Book Launch - September 2nd, 2010

Photographer Ruth Bayer will be launching the paperback of her ‘Poppers’ book at:

Envoy Enterprises Gallery, 131 Chrystie St, NYC 10002 USA. 212.226.4555

With a live spoken word performance from Little Annie, a live musical performance by Misty Roses, and tunes spun all evening by DJ Mike Grimes.

“To capture a moment in which the subject loses control, or at least slackens their

grip on the reins, is a frequent goal in photography…”

Fascinated by the watery, dilated eyes and sensually heightened faces of those she

saw taking poppers in nightclubs, Ruth set out to capture those fleeting moments of

euphoric aware/unawareness in the series of photographs presented in this book.
