Item #4542 Zonen. Esaias Baitel.

Zonen

Stockholm: Bokomoyiv, 1982. Very minor wear on corners. Item #4542
ISBN: 9176180395

Zonen depicts a neighborhood where motor bikes, rock and roll, and swastikas go hand in hand. In order to get close to these ”Rockers”, Esaias had to tell them that he was a Swede of Walloon origin. To introduce himself as a Jew in this environment would not have been cool. The photos do not show lost or mislead youths, but take us very close to a integrated subculture, with entire families and small children.

Esaias Baitel’s photos pointed towards the future. In the nineteen seventies, he documented something that later was to erupt throughout Europe: the different forms and shapes of neo nazism. [dl].
