About the book

Young people of different ages in different cities such as Valparaíso, Santiago, Puerto Montt, Rancagua, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Oaxaca and Lima: metalheads, rappers, punks, thrashers, goths, skaters, trasvesties, emos, vampires or transformers portrayed by Carla Mc Kay (Chile) in 135 black and white photographs, accompanied by texts from three Latin American women authors. Pop artist and physical education (PE) teacher, born in the mining town of Coya, near Rancagua, and married to the writer Álvaro Bisama (to whom the publication is dedicated), Mc-Kay lives and works in Santiago. "In the photographs of this book we can see a certain break with the naturalizations about the masculine and the feminine. But Mc Kay goes further. The portrayed here inscribe in their bodies the styles that they crave, beyond even the so-called 'youth subcultures' or 'urban tribes'" (HKB Translation) --Page [10].
