GROT BOOK
Faux Leather Hardcover
204 x 254 mm, 272 pages
First edition: 500, Self-published
Photographs: Jonny Kaye
Graphic Design: Łukasz Gula
Curation: Linda Zhengová
GROT can be understood as something unpleasant, dirty, or of poor quality. The same-named debut monograph by Jonny Kaye provides a unique insight into the UK kink and fetish scene. Between the years 2020-2023, he compiled over twelve thousand analogue images to document the private community.
Jonny's work tends to stick in one's mind for a while… His photographs are immersed in erotica, rawness, and intensity. His signature analogue tactility and depth are juxtaposed with editorial aesthetics, creating a unique visual experience. GROT gives a podium to underrepresented sexualities, desires, and practices. It aims to include sexualities and identities that were for a long time marked as “perverse.” Consequently, it can be understood as a counter-archive that engages alternative modes of knowledge and strives to initiate discussion about the public knowledge of sexuality and relationships.
