The Human Process
The Photography of Shane Deruise
Photography & Fine Art
Forwards by James Corcoran and Camille Wilmoth
Keepsake Publishing, NC2009. 816 pages (Volume I: 390 p. – Volume II: 426 p.), numerous color and black-and-white photographs & memoirs, 8×10″.
Over 500 never before published images and writings of Shane Deruise in his first retrospective. There are very few books of photography and poetry that strike to the moral core, but no edition before now has ever attempted to make you question yourself as a person. It is comfort as much as it is torment. Deruise’s vision is timeless and resonates with new photographic meaning.
Volume I includes written words and images of life, romanticism, fashion, music, portraiture, surrealism, and ultimately downfall.
Volume II includes written words and images of violence, trauma, death, eroticism, fetish, sex, and regret.
