Into the meat grinder

Featured spreads are from new release Cary Loren: Polaroids, published by Edition Patrick Frey. Collecting photos of the legendary Detroit-based Destroy All Monsters founder and Book Beat bookstore owner's collage work, assemblages and snapshots of his 1970s entourage, this book also comes printed with three different covers and an interview with artist Cameron Jamie, conducted in several cemeteries beside the graves of Loren’s idols. Jamie comments, "Your collage work has always had this sense of wickedness warping low and pop culture imagery. It’s like putting images into a meat grinder to mash up and reshape them by cooking them into another setting of your own by retelling and rewriting a story," then later asks, "Do you find your work beautiful?" Loren responds, "There’s this balance of the world I’m trying to create and resolve. I’m trying to achieve something of what I think is an artificial kind of beauty, yeah."
