KEPT |
|
For the fourth volume of his collected works, Peter Sotos has created KEPT, a brand new and original book – a “monograph of limited masturbation” – based around his vast collection of news clippings, assembled over several decades. KEPT is a work in three sections: the first, Filming Children, identifies multiple stories, themes, fetishes, and strands of misinformation, bleeding together and collaged onto backgrounds which comprise a second, fragmentary sub-textual narrative. Sections two and three – Indulging Children and Missing Children – are new text pieces which form a further commentary on the preceding images, incorporating arrest transcripts, parental interviews and other illuminating documentation. KEPT is a major work which says more about its subject – the shocking proliferation of crimes against children in recent social history – than most academic studies could hope to achieve. With around 250 pages of clippings and images, and 70 pages of original text. Size: 7 X 10 inches, 320 pages. UNLIMITED PAPERBACK EDITION |
