Dark Portraits. Rome 1982–1985 — Dino Ignani (2014)
Published by Yard Press, Dark Portraits. Rome 1982–1985 documents the young people who shaped Rome’s underground nightlife in the early 1980s. Through a series of black-and-white portraits, Dino Ignani captures the style and individuality of the city’s dark scene, photographing its members in clubs, discos and bars where post-punk, new wave and gothic influences came together.
From distinctive hairstyles and dramatic makeup to clothing and personal gestures, the photographs preserve the visual identity of a generation that found its own way of expressing itself outside the mainstream. An intimate photographic record of a subculture that left a lasting mark on the aesthetics of the decade.
This is the first edition, limited to just 300 copies, published by independent Roman publisher Yard Press in 2014.
